Haines, Alaska | November | Canon 5d2 | Canon 17-40mm | 1/250, f8, iso 1000

Expertly designed and executed, Matthew. Is this remotely triggered or are they really this approachable?

[Bill Dix]

Love it. Not just a nice eagle shot, but a wonderful environmental feeling to it. You must have been wearing a wet suit to get so low in the icy stream with a shallow lens.

[Karl Egressy]

Grat image, showing the environment, Matthew.

[Nick Palmieri]

Great environmental shot. Love the perspective. Great detail in the bird, nice composition. very well executed.

[Doug West]

Dang Matthew, you should really, really post more of your images on here! I love visiting
your site and viewing your images, especially since we're both in Cleveland.

This shot is simply to die for!

Excellent shot Matthew! I wish I had brought a wide angle and waders last year....

[christopher galeski]

very nice image,nice and low,bird sharp with good details,and with a 17-40mm lens.this close well done.

[Martin Dunn]

Lovely shot Matthew.
The eagle is beautifully captured and the overall setting is magnificent.
Like a couple of others I am curious how you managed to get so close with a wide angle lens. Are the eagles really that approachable?

[gail bisson]

This is wonderful Matthew. I love the sweep on the mountain slope from left to right and the meandering waterway.
Superb composition and POV.
Love the water coming off the tail as well.

Fine image...my eye doesn't want to leave the frame. Everything is interesting from the bird to the stones in the river to the mountain, to the water flowing off the bird's tail.

Most are not that approachable, but this particular bird seemed to have no fear and landed near me to grab some salmon snacks.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Such a cool perspective here making this image rock. Geez the environment alone is stellar and the Eagle looks like such a BAD ***. very cool
