One of my target images for Homer was to photograph a diving eagle and this is the closest I came to. not a perfect image but i was happy to get intense action and pose in frame.

Nice pose, Sid. It looks as it cold go a bit lighter, the darks on the back of the bird are a bit blocked, and I'd probably place the Eagle a bit higher in the frame to accentuate the diving pose.
Glad you were ablr to get your goals on your trip :)
