Hi Dale, You have found a good subject--everybody loves eagles--in a bad place. Your EXP looks good but the bird is way, way to high for you to create an effective image. And there are too, too many branches up there. Try to join some local photo groups as I know that there are good locations for both eagles or other wintering birds in your area, and keep your eyes peeled here at BPN. Lastly, you can post your images much larger--see the posting guidelines for help.

Hi Dale Excellent suggestions and can offer one more .... you might want to wait for the eagle to take off and catch it in flight !!! If you have the sun and wind at your back there is a good chance to make the image !!! Looking forward to more !!! .... btw glad your listed properly :)
Hi Dale,
Very good advise given by Mr. Morris and Mr. Forns...have patience and wait for the eagle to change positions and give you a less congestive background...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
Hi Dale - everything covered above - i can sympthaise with you - I find a species that I have been after for a while - just cant wait to get in there and start taking shots - patience grasshopper :)
