    Default European Sea Eagle in Flight

    I`ve taken this image last week in Poland (near Lodz). It was very cold, but sunny so
    I was very glad to have good light conditions and catch this adult see-eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) in flight.
    The Background is a forest.

    Taken with
    D5 with Nikkor Zoom 200-500VR:
    500mm/5.6, iso 450, 1/1600sec

    This is a lovely Whitetail.Well done.HA excellent and I enjoy seeing those great feet trailing along behind.Nice background as well.The eye is just a bit lost by the surrounding strong beak colour IMO.But can hardly fault it.

    Hi Eric, what a dramatic flight pose, as I really like the curvature of the forward wings. You have captured a good HA with this flight pose, and I like the show of the left leg peeking through the tail feathers. I would like to see a version with more space top, left and bottom. The Eagle seems a bit cramped for such a great flight pose.

    Wonderful frame Eric, powerful and agree with Stu for more canvas as the tree-line is also a wonderful BG, the wing position is sweet.

    Sweet wing position. Agree with more room all around.
    I would bump up the midtones a bit and I would soften the edge of the tree that cuts up through the far wing.
    Well done,
    Gail

    Great picture! I love the head angle and the curvature of the flight feathers. Overall, you have done the bird justice is representing its power, grace, and beauty in this capture.

    Just lovely. Wing position and backward glance are killer. Thanks for sharing.
