African Fish Eagle

[Roman Kurywczak]

From my just concluded Tanzania tour.....always a treat to photograph fish eagles.....I have a few against the blue sky but my favorite was when he flew low on the grasses.
Canon 1D Mark lll with the Sigma 300-800 @ 687mm at f/7.1, 1/2500 sec. and ISO 800. Hand held

Roman:

I almost always prefer my birds to be against something other than just the sky, so good choice here. I like the loose comp (at least its loose for you!), wing position, clear, non merged view of head, position in frame. Of course it doesn't hurt that it is a great looking bird.

Well exposed and sharp!

cheers

Hi Roman, great flying angle in the frame, and a great flying pose with the slightly raised wings. You have nailed the exposure, and I really like how the FE is separated from the grassy BG. Well captured.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the flight angle, sharpness, exposure, setting and composition. Excellent image Roman!

[Don Lacy]

Sweet image Roman, The Eagle pops off the green BG and you were able to get plenty of detail and color on both the bottom and tops of the wings.

[Matthew Studebaker]

great looking species, nice warm light. I wonder if you could remove a little more noise?

[Richard Flack]

Really like this image and love being able to see the top of this beautiful eagle's wings. Green background is nice for a change and works well. Well done!

[Markus Jais]

Beautiful shot. Great exposure on the dark feathers. I like the wing pose. The green background is fantastic and fits this eagle very well.

Nice image, great looking bird and nice height that you captured it at
with the bird set up against the green BG makes it pop out and wonderful sharpness too
lovely one
