A Kenko 1.5 non-reporting extender was also used in this capture. Some OOF branches were removed (URC and LLC). Thin marine layer of clouds most of the morning but they were starting to lift at this time.

I like the stare of this majestic bird. It would have been even better if the sky was a bit more blue

Beautiful pose and excellent exposure. Love the detail and pale sky too. Lovely capture Duana and many thanks for sharing.

Thank you. The sky is what it is with the marine layer of clouds that moved in before I got there. They were moving out but so did the Eagles once the blue sky showed itself.
