Congratulations to Jessica Kirstie (Jessica Kirste Photography) for her thrilling photograph, "Osprey with Rainbow Trout," taken at Jackson's Pond, Clark. The picture is a breathtaking action shot that captures nature's sheer power and grace. An osprey, with its wings spread wide and talons extended, is in the midst of a dramatic hunt, snatching a shimmering rainbow trout mid-flight. Frozen in time, the moment is a stunning display of raw, untamed beauty, showcasing the perfect harmony between predator and prey in the wild. (in our local parks!)
Jessica's image received an impressive 110 votes, and it's easy to see why. It's a true, captivating photo that has been celebrated by many.
