Another eagle from this winter. I love watching them fly; incredible grace and power! If I remember correctly, I had a ton of light so I thought I'd experiment with very small apertures. I was pleased with the DOF in this image, although I probably could have gotten similar DOF with f/10 here.

I like the pose and eye contact. Nice to look at all that snow since it's quite warm here. :) I guess f/8 or so would have been good enough. The composition is a little tricky with that running water.
Hey Doug,
Even us landscape guys would have went for more speed..............but you know what???............I like the extra DOF to include the water and snow texture!
