Diving Bald Eagle II

[Doug Brown]

Here's another of my favorite Bald Eagle images from Alan Murphy's workshop.

Canon 1Dx, 300mm f/2.8, f/4.5, 1/2500, ISO 800, manual exposure, hand held, baited

Wow just the best

[Grace Scalzo]

Now that's cool. I like the steering pose. Very intense feeling.

[adrian dancy]

A good dramatic pose. Nice technicals...it's a shame about the tail being a bit grubby but that's just the bird making a living. If this were mine it would be on the wall:)

[Jonathan Ashton]

Absolutely brilliant Doug, my only suggestion is that it is for me a little too large in the frame.

[Andrew Merwin]

Great techs. I like the detail in both the blacks & whites of this dynamic image. Great action. I like how the upper wing is cocked. I too could see more room on the right & bottom.

[Diane Miller]

I love the pose and detail! For me, although it is an action shot, the size in the frame highlights the great detail. If I added anything it would only be a small amount.

[Bill Holsten]

Great shot with exceptional detail, Doug. Direct eye contact with the viewer. How many frames did you shoot to come with this many keepers?

Thanks Bill. I shot a lot of frames (maybe 1,500 per day), but I got the highest percentage of keepers that I've gotten with any Canon body ever. And by a wide margin.

[Robert Holguin]

Wow!!!!
Stunning image!
Love the pose, terriffic light, and excellent details.
Well done.

[Lorant Voros]

Very powerful and love the way how it is composed in the frame. Super detail, perfect light. Well done.

[gail bisson]

Very nice Doug! Even though the wing position is asymmetric , the pose really works.
I really like the hint of clouds in the blue sky and the comp is perfect.
IQ is superb,

I love BIF photography and all I can say is, Thats a smokin shot. It has everything you could want in an action shot. Detail, exposure control, great starting to fold up pose and you even got a blue sky with clouds in it. One of the best I have seen.

[Ivan Ellison]

Tremendous image. one can only dream- or try harder- to get such a cracker, everything is spot on for my eyes, exposure and camera settings couldn't be better.

[Alan Murphy]

A stunning and powerful image Doug.

[Steve Maxson]

Hi Doug. Nothing new to add that hasn't already been said - this is just an outstanding shot!

[Robert Kimbrell]

Wow. What a great shot as my first reply post on this forum. I hope to create an image that nice one day.

[Travis Reid]

A great dynamic image, congratulations.

[shane shacaluga]

Amazing! not much I can add to what has been said above. Thanks for sharing!

[Paul Keeble]

Can I just add another "Wow" - not much else to say about this one really is there!

[Mike Landwehr]

An outstanding image, Doug. I love the drama, and the feather detail. An intense stare, and talons at the ready!

[Sidharth Kodikal]

My jaw just hit the desk, Doug. Nothing not to love about it.
Killer pose, comp and details.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Doug this is Killer! Love the pose and the speed and power it evokes.
