The same eagle that picked up the goose a couple days later still
cruising the pond. About the nastiest looking Eagle I have seen.
Very aggressive hunter, a fun new addition to the area that I hope sticks around.
I like the image Dan, but not too happy about the processing, it looks a bit heavy handed. Possibly the ISO made life difficult? I would suggest going back to raw and if the exposure is good then readjust contrast. I feel the image is definitely worth working on.
Well framed, great head angle. Certainly does look fierce. I do have some of the same concerns about the final processing. I certainly understand how that ISO could cause some compromises. I normally don't like to shoot the D500 above 1600, and prefer 800 when possible.
Let's hope he gives you many more opportunities.
A pretty scruffy individual, well captured with great wing spread and flight angle. I'm also thinking the high ISO is the culprit, especially with a darkish image. But you do what you have to in order to get the shot. Maybe he'll be back on a brighter day.

Exactly Bill, thank you.
I shoot almost daily, If I have to wait for good light I would hardly photograph at all...
I have no idea how many shots I would have missed waiting for the right sun angle and
iso400 light...
I would quit.
