Juvenile Bald Eagle

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Challenging capture at a great distance. This is 35% of full frame. I'll never tire watching these raptors and their amazing fish grabbing skills. All C&C welcome.

D3s, Nikon 500mm + 1.4x tc, 1/2000, f5.6, Gitzo tripod, Wimberly Gimbal Head.

I like the dynamic pose and the fish, but the bird appears OOF.

[Raybel Robles]

I agree with Arash, a lovely action shot but the bird and the overall IQ it is very limited.

Focus appears to have been on the face & right wing, which still works for me. Have you done continous shooting mode with AF set? If so, how was the focus on the other pics?

A nice moment captured - a keeper AFAIC!

The eagle and fish look sharp enough to me Geoffrey and I love how the fish is dangling with the water droplets beneath. Blur on the wingtips adds a nice sense of motion too!
