Bald Eagle with Fish

[Doug Brown]

Here's a Bald Eagle from Alan Murphy's Alaska workshop. We had an incredible number of Bald Eagle encounters; the 12 fps of the 1Dx had me going through 32 GB cards like there was no tomorrow!

Canon 1Dx, 300mm f/2.8, f/3.5, 1/2500, ISO 2000, manual exposure, hand held, baited

Woooo
This one is special, the flight is so amazingly captured, head turn makes it special and the fish in the claws takes it over the top.
I simply love the full action captured here , amazing

[Don Nelson]

Wow -- the wing position, snow and fish send this one over the top. Outstanding.

What I really like about this image is the color of the water. Really makes the image stand out and adds a nice touch of color.
I also like the falling snow and the eye level view of the eagle.
The one legged fish catch is cool as well.
Congrats on a super picture,
Gail

Another great eagle shot, Doug. Very sharp, great background and water color. Superb eye. Your best eagle yet.

[Karl Egressy]

Great forward wing position, excellent shooting angle and the snow and water droplets behind the feet adds much interest, Doug.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very cool action, and the tight crop works well in this case. The falling snow is an nice bonus.

Wow...thats one heck of a shot Doug. Such high impact. the best angle you can capture. Loved the wings and the sharp details. Well exposed and composed as well.

[Jon Rista]

Fantastic shot! Love that wing position. I like the water in the background, adds a nice element of contrasting color to the yellow.

[Steve Maxson]

Hi Doug. Outstanding sharpness and the flying water drops and falling snow really add to the image!

[Steve Uffman]

Great shot


1dx rocks doesn't it?

[Frank Schauf]

Fantastic. Wonderful flight pose and action.

[Bill Dix]

Stunning shot. The fish is just incidental. What makes this for me are the forward wing position, head angle and falling snow. Not to mention the water color and great techs. A real beauty.

[Joe Murphy]

Very dynamic pose, great colours & spot on focus.
