Bald Eagle Dive

[Herb Houghton]

This one is diving for a fish in the Susquehanna River. Full frame on the horizontal, cropped from bottom, I added a sliver of canvas up top. Mk IV, 800 f5.6, iso 640, 1/1600, f7.1, shot manual mode from tripod/wimberley.

Herb:

Nice dorsal view, with lots of detail, well exposed, dynamic pose.

I might add even a bit more room on top, perhaps double the current amount.


Look forward to more.

Cheers

Randy

[PRABIR BHATTACHARYYA]

I think, managing the exposure might have been quite tricky.
Very well controlled shot!

You nailed this one. Super sharpness with great details in the feathers. Exciting photograph!

Really nice top view! Sharp with excellent detail! Agree about the canvas.

Thanks to everyone for comments and the added canvas suggestion. I added canvas on top, twice of what was there already, as per Randy's suggestion.

[Dan Busby]

Herb - original was great but repost is even better. Great tension created by the dive angle. Wonderful detail, exposure and comp.

[Arthur Morris]

Repost rocks with beautiful dorsal detail. It is were mine, I'd even out the tones of the bill. All in all excellente!
