    Default Bald Eagle

    This image of a Bald Eagle was captured at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. Just after I captured this series of frames the eagle dropped the stick. It came falling to earth like a missile, thankfully I was not underneath it. The background is a overcast white sky. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Looks like a big crop Joe, I can see some graininess on the wings. Nevertheless, an interesting capture. Regards, Ian.

    Nice flight position and big stick. Small in the frame works well, especially given Ian's observation.

    Hi Joe, looks like the Eagle was going to build a log cabin with the size of that 'log'. Im always interested with the 'facial expression' these guys give off - always an intense stare.

    This does look a fairly large crop, as I too can see some noise, and at ISO 280, you should have noise.
