Taken Tues. at Rock Island, IL, on the Mississippi. The bird was soaring, searching for lunch, flying an "S" pattern over the open water below the Lock and Dam. I don't know if the light or pose works as well as it should. Most of the other images in the series were flat flying. This is full frame.

Canon 30D, 600mm, 1/800, f/9, ISO400 - metered off the sky and added 1 stop to try and avoid blowing out the white head (not too successful).

Difficult with the harsh light Ken You are shooting the shaded side of the bird Got the exposure correct but any part that gets sun will be overexposed

Composition wise would give a little more room by the left wing I like the pose and fame placing
