Was out taking eagle pictures on the Mississippi River and all the birds were fishing way out there and all of a sudden this bird soared right above us and I was fortunate enough to grab a few keepers.

Nice diagonal pose, great sharpness and background. The shadow across the neck/body is a little distracting. I like portraits so if I were going to clip wings, I might crop tighter.

Where on the Mississippi?

Thanks for commenting on my eagle photo Martin,Mike,Mark.This shot was taken at L&D24 in Clarksville Missouri.
The eagles are down in numbers all along the Mississippi River this year. We are hoping things will pick up soon.
Thanks again. Tim

Love it! If looks could kill, you would have been in trouble!

The eye contact makes this image incredible.

Thanks for sharing!
