Fishing was bad for bald eagles at the Conowingo Dam last Friday. Generators that normally supply stunned fish on the surface of the water were off line. And a strong, cold wind blew from a distant, rocky shore, where dozens of the eagles hunkered down. So it was a pleasure to see this young eagle fly by, and bank in the morning sun to display its fine plumage.

All C&C are welcome.

The eagle looks great, with a menacing look of concentration that I like a lot. I suppose the blacks of the tail could be lifted a bit. The blue of the sky is a bit strong - I'd look into reducing its saturation and /or removing the some yellows from its hue.

Nice banking pose captured, Norm.

Thanks Daniel and Karl. I greatly appreciate your comments.

Hi Norm, love the banking pose of the Eagle, it shows off the feather detail nicely. I agree about reducing the blues of the sky.

Thanks Stu!
