Oh, wait, there is one more tip that this photo demonstrates. It was actually the last thing I was going to say before I recommended reading good books on the subject or taking a photography course.
See in the bottom left part of the frame where all those wires and things lead the eye out of the picture? You don't want that. When composing, take time to really look at what is in the viewfinder and where your eye travels within that rectangle. If the eye is running out of the frame, that's not good. Sometimes squinting reveals the overall impression of form and line and the path the eyes take.
I didn't do that in this case because these are the first osprey of the season and the first nest I've found in Victoria, so I was freaking out. Wildly snapping away without any thought at all.
That's it for photo tips. We will now resume our regular osprey programming.

see now, that's the best tip you could give Heather. freakin out because you were excited, just take the photos, later you can calm down and check your composition, but really it's your passion for the birds that is the real importance.
Nice work Heather and your tips are great.
