    We found a relatively tame individual that allowed us close. It did not look injured, so we wondered as to why it was by itself
    away from the rest. It was actively hunting and caught a big fish at one point which action was photographed by my wife,
    creating and amazing shot.
    Here is my shot.
    Thanks for looking.

    Canon 1D Mark IV
    Canon 100-400 L IS II.
    ISO 400
    1/2000 s
    f 7.1

    A superb pose but not quite symmetrical and therein might lie the problem for the bird , if it has one? I sincerely hope the bird is not affected by bad health.

    I like the wing details, complimentary BG and composition. Well done Karl.

    Hi Steve,
    Many people don't like over sharpened images, including me.

    Hi Karl, I too am not a fan of over sharpen images, I'm just saying that to me, the image isn't sharp, there are no fine details within the subject, just my take.
