Bald Eagle in-flight

[Duane Noblick]

From the nest I follow and this was captured this morning as the female took a break tending to the three youngsters they are raising by stretching her wings around the nest site.

Canon 7D, Canon 500mm f/4L, 1/1600" @ f/6.3, ISO 400, manual mode, tripod. Two of the upper feathers tips were cloned in..and I mean the very tips.

Duane:

Nice wing spread with excellent display of the feathers. The light angle helped provide excellent definition. Good tail spread too.

I might consider just the slightest downward adjustment of the dark slider, a few points.

Your shooting angle was pretty steep. Perhaps a taller step ladder nest time:t3

Cheers

Great shot Duane, love the details.

[Tom Redd]

Beautiful photo Duane. I agree with Randy's assessment.

Darks noted and shooting angle also noted but sometimes I wish I could have more than a ladder with these Eagles...if anything like that was allowed. :bg3:

Thank you for the critiques.
