Ok, I love looking at shots of Bald Eagles. This picture is an excellent capture. Nice stop action, looks sharp. Nice to get him facing into the sun instead of you looking into the sun. The only complaint I have with this picture is the sky in the background. Although it probably represents what the sky really looked like at the time, I might play with it a little more. Since these birds have a white head and tail, they are easily recognizable, especially against a darker background. The contrast between the head and tail really pops when there is white on dark or darker. That is only a minor criticism. This is a good picture, and it has eagle has a lot to say when you look at it. His eyes are intense and those talons are ready for business. Bombs away! Nice image. Thanks.

Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!

Is the eagle upside down? This is a wonderful capture!

I took this last Sunday (Feb 1) at Lock and Dam #14. Right in your yard! Were you there? Unfortunately, we didn't get there until mid-day.

I keep coming back to this shot. It is pretty sweet. The eyes are so intense.

Thanks to all who viewed my photo. While I have a long way to go to become a truly accomplished photographer, and will never get there, of course (being 71 years old), the journey is as important as the destination.
I really do appreciate teh feedback.
Thanks again to all.
