Photographed this juvenile in the outskirts of Homer (AK).As this was my first and so far last visit to AK , i was surprised how close i could get to this guy on foot.

lovely details and pose here Andreas - impressed that this was on foot :bg3:
perhaps try and recover some of the blackest shadow detail under the belly?
Overall: :5

Great image, like the hair on the beak following his meal. THe eye contact with you is super and lovely exposure to get the most from the feathers,

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Looks great, although I would agree with Morkel about an attempt to recover some detail under the belly.

[Karl Egressy]

Great shot, Andreas.

[Shawn Zierman]

Gorgeous and congrats on this fine image. The low angle, grassy setting, and great light are working well together.
Any idea what it was feasting on?

[Andreas Liedmann]

Thanks folks for watching and leave a comment.

Shawn - i think it was a beaver , but not sure.
