Alaska Bald Eagle #2

[Jim Neiger]

Haines, Ak - 1D4, 600mm, hand held, 1/1250, F4, ISO 800, manual exposure

[Lorant Voros]

Very nice separation from the BG, eyes are intense and both are visible and I can almost feel the cold with the snow falling that shows well. Very strong image, Jim.

[Karl Egressy]

It looks like he/she is very serious about business. I can immagine that he/she plucked out a big fish in the next moment.
Love te serious look on it's face.

[Marina Scarr]

Nice pose but what I esp like is the color of the BG and the little snowflakes.

[William Giokas]

Excellent , especially hand holding a 600mm lens. Bill

[John Cooper]

Great in-coming capture of the eagle Jim - sharp, good wing-span and well separated from the BG.

[dankearl]

The BG is super, it really does look cold!

[David Salem]

Nice incoming pose and love the feet hanging down. Nice job on the exposure and very clear and sharp. Great job..

[Jonathan Ashton]

Super shot great moment excellent focus. Amazing light he really stands out from the background. I note the dark plumage is dark, was this the light at thus time or is it something to do with the age of the bird, I ask purely out of ignorance because I have seen several shots posted recently where. the dark plumage is not so dark.

Hi Jim,
I just love the BG with the purple. The snowflakes add a lot as well. Overcast light really is nice.
Nice and sharp with great separation of bird and BG. I would like a sliver more canvas on the RHS.
Well done,
Gail

The pose looks good, because of the dangling legs, and I like the tilting body angle. I like the BG alot, but if anything there are three larger subtle OOF circles that I would try to tone down or eliminate.

[Robert Holguin]

Superb shot!!
Love the flight pose and the stare. Excellent background and exposed very well.
Well done.

Sweet pose and BKGR. Looks as if you had a lot better light than I had on my visit.

It was overcast most of the time, which was much better than when the sun came out. The most common exposure setting I used was 1/800, F4, ISO 800.

Really fine image. Like the diagonal line of the wings, the feet down pose, and the intensity of the bird's stare.

If you remember I told you that the place was impossible when the sun was out. When I was there I started at ISO 1600....

Awesome colors in the background. Love the body angle and great details.
