Alaska Eagle

Another shot from Haines, AK.

1D4 600II f/4 1/2000sec ISO 1000 handheld. hope you like it

It really stinks, just horrible, bad color sky, ugly bird......... sorry had to do that.

Gorgeous, lucky lucky you.

The head angle and technique on this shot is just AWE.

I do notice across the top of his back a small white line, can't tell if its a halo effect or not, but right over his head area its slightly distracting, burn down a bit maybe?

Any more detail to be found in the tail you could pull out a bit, or was it out of the DOF?

Really awesome shot

I really like the BG and the direct gaze he is giving you. The splayed primaries enhance the wing position.
Tack sharp and good comp,
Gail

Fantastic image Arash love the head on view. I don't think I have seem may images with that composition of these birds most are usually a side view.

Arash,

Greetings. What a great face. Nothing less than exceptional whites define the head as you have here. Good show.

Cheers,

Really awesome shot

thanks

the white line is the reflection of light from the plumage, it is natural.

you cannot fit a bald eagle head to tail inside the DOF at 600mm f/4 when it's coming towards you.
