Eagle Approach...

[John Blumenkamp]

Here is a capture of a younger bald eagle out at Farmington Bay here in northern Utah from last weekend. I always like 'top wing' shots, and was happy to make this image. I'm continuing to find the 40D does very well tracking larger subjects like this incredible bird.

40D w/ 400 5.6L
1/2000 f/5.6 iso200

Thanks,
John

Wow very powerful image...light is nice and soft and sharpness is great!

The grass really adds to this shot.

I found that my eyes were quickly drawn to the bright white rocks immediately below the bird. I would suggest darkening these. Otherwise, top shot.

Lovely sharp image. I love the detail in the tail feathers. The skyline is a bit distracting, otherwise very nice image. Something to have on the wall.

Best regards
