This was an early morning shot. The sun had just come up to the left of the frame over a mountain range. The trees in the background would not get the sun’s light until later in the morning so the background remained a bit darker as everything was still in shadow at this time. Since the Osprey was flying towards me it happened to bit in an area where the Sun’s rays were able to shine on it which made the feathers illuminate like this. Unfortunately the Osprey was quite a distance away from me so the bird itself is not super sharp but it’s still a special shot. You might notice other little glowing dots in the photo. When you see things like that it is usually bugs flying around that are also lit up by the Sun.
