White-bellied Sea Eagle

My R5 is at Canon for repair to a failed rear LCD screen. It developed some vertical lines in the RHS, so I had to dust off the 5D4, what a challenge to use!

Great subject in tough light with that fully-shaded far wing. Perhaps a bit warmer, especially on the bird itself? Hope you get your R5 back soon - tough to part ways with our beloved toys:S3:

Colin great detail in the wing and agree with Daniel biggest negative is the shaded wing. I think warming it up some would help especially with that sky.TFS

[Kurt Bowman]

I agree with previous comments about the far wing, but great job still especially with he R5 on the sideline. Nice work

Hi Colin. Well captured indeed. Nice detail (the 5D4 is no slouch!). If you ever get back to Qld I can recommend Point Arkwright (near Coolum on the sunshine coast). I've shot them flying by at a very close distance.
