    Not quite as easy to get nice Bald Eagle shots in Conowingo as in British Colombia as Arash had done. They are always so far away, and rarely dive in the right locations. Here is one from a nasty overcast day, he had a catch and was flying off with his prize. The shadows are a bit dark, but that is how it was and no blacks are clipped, just no light hitting them. Any thoughts?

    I like the BG and the wing position, it looks like it was carrying something too (?) This location isn't ideal for a short lens, the eagle was too far away and as a result quite small in the frame without much detail. You may want to consider traveling to locations that offer better opportunities instead.

    Thanks Arash, yeah he has a fish, I tend to post at 1000px, maybe 1200px would help a bit. Yeah, I would love to go for a couple weeks to Alaska, that seems like the best place for Eagles.
