This bald eagle image was taken from a boat on Kachemak Bay, near Homer, Alaska (one of Artie's IPT's). The eagle was catching the early morning sun, but the dark cliff in the background was not. Any C & C appreciated.

Beautiful shot Mike. That could easily have gone wrong with the bird being a similar colour to the BG but the light on the bird sets is apart perfectly. Great wing down pose, fantastic experience captured superbly
you nailed this one, nice DOF and like the way BG is split evenly with water and forest....and the bird in the middle....nice!
Sounds like a great experience Mike, maybe one day I'll do the Homer trip.
Great shot. You have beautiful light, details in the feathers and face, and a nice wing position. Not sure if I would have preferred the bird to be lower into the water or higher into the darks?
And at 155mm..... how awesome is that....
Excellent flight shot in beautiful lights. Love the frame.

I like the flight angle, light, composition in dark upper BG. Well done Mike.
