Flight of the Eagle

Handheld from a rocking boat...here's my first decent eagle image. Cropped to vertical and added a bit at the top.

1/1250, f8, iso800
Canon 1dx, 600f4 + 2.0 tc

You nailed it

Terrific pose and details. Great job with the 2x. Love the hint of clouds.

Gorgeous, gorgeous wing spread Grace! Absolute ripper with the puffs of cloud and blue skies. An American legend in flight!

Excellent banking pose superb IQ and right exposure to show detail, Grace.

So happy for you that you got this shot!
Lovely light and perfect wingspread. You nailed the whites!
Hint of clouds in the BG really lift this image up a notch.

Not much to fault here! Spectacular in all regards with a wonderful wingspread and neat cloud patches in the BG.

Hi Grace, a bit late to your party, but what excellent exposure you achieved here, and not to mention the sharpness too. Gotta love the full wingspread and curled primaries, and I do feel the hint of clouds, add a lot to the sky BG. Well captured.

Excellent image. Spectacular banking pose with superb wing spread. superb composition.

Satish.

Fantastic Grace! ! Beautiful pose with nice sharp details and that cloud in the background really sets it off. Well done

Such an incredible shot Grace. Love the clouds in the background! Thanks for posting this!

excellent details, exposure and pose Grace, the clouds in the BG add more interest

BPN friends, thank you for commenting and looking at my picture. I am happy to add this species to my portfolio. Agree that the clouds are the icing on the cake in this scene, nothing that I can take credit for. Thanks again.

All has been said, a stunning image and one you must be made up with, tfs.
