were you straight bottom of this eagle Doug ? Balds are beautiful this is nice one somehow dont work for me as the head visible here really odd (may be stretched horizontally feel). Your focus also locks legs first which makes the head off.

May be you could have gone few mtrs. back off where you were and took a diff angle here.

IMHO ... Sorry mate.

[Doug West]

Nothing to be sorry for. I was looking over all of my images trying to find some of the first images I captured.
This was one of them, almost 6 freaking years ago. Where has the time gone.

Have to agree with Mitel on this one, Doug, due to the severe angle. I hope when you look back over some of your old images and where you are now with your photography, you got a few good chuckles.
