Bald Eagle

[Doug Brown]

Here's another Bald Eagle image from Alaska. The 1Dx is an autofocus beast!

Canon 1Dx, 300mm f/2.8, f/5.6, 1/3200, ISO 400, manual exposure, hand held

Doug:

Dynamic pose, head shows up well against the far wing, very good dof, falling drops, all good.

Sharp, well exposed. A bit tight in frame for my tastes, but shows very well at this image size.

Cheers

Great pose and sharpness. Amazing focus spot on against the water. Perfect exposure. BG is not ideal, but what can you do? Well done.

[Giovanni Frescura]

Well done.
very nice shoot...I like the water on the wing...

[gail bisson]

This is a terrific, dynamic image.
I love the IQ and appreciate the difficulties overcome to focus on the eagle with the dark BG even with the 1DX ( I agree it makes it a lot easier)
Love the far wing position and the light on it. I like the comp
Great eye level view as well which makes the image more powerful,

Fantastic image, I like the IQ and well done on sharpness, pose and love the dark BG.

Doug,

This one looks great. Nailed the focus on that eye! Really diggin' the water reflections on the underside of the right wing.

BTW, I'll be in ABQ from Wed through Tues for some apt hunting before the big move early next month. :) I may send you a message in case you have some good landscape locations in the area (prob won't be bringing my 500, so birding will be out of the question).

Killer pose, light and details. Love that water spray. The light worked perfectly for your angle.

[Doug Brown]

Give me a call Miguel. Preferably in the earlier part of the week; my son graduates from high school this weekend, so I'll be busy with that.

The quality of this image is amazing, perfectly exposed.

Excellent work. The only thing I might have wished for is for the birds bill tip not to connect with the line of the quill and for the feather to have been dark.

Terrific low level flight photo, Doug.
I would not even think about a critique for this, sorry.
Excellent detail, exposure and sharpness.
