Out of the Storm Bald Eagle

[D. Robert Franz]

Captured this image during my Alaska Eagle Tour in March. Had wonderful snow conditions this day. I would track the eagles awaiting them to turn into me and then fire away. The mk4 and 300mm F2.8L tracked great even in these tough conditions.. Shown as captured full frame.

Very sharp with good details in both black and white, love the flight pose with wing span and the snow storm environment really put this image over the top.

What a pose and HA and the snow puts it indeed over the top. Very well done.

Beautiful IF capture and composition, Robert! The snow gives it a wonderful feel, very nicely done!

[Herb Houghton]

Great shot Robert. You cannot really go wrong with that combo, unless of course they fly too close. :bg3: I like the full spread and the snow really works in these images you're sharing.
