Yeow! That's an awesome catch! Looks like you barely had them in the clear -

This is terrific, I don't think it needs a thing....

Joe:

Very nice timing. Nice control of whites while maintaining details in the dark areas. I would guess it was pretty soft light, because the sun angle was considerably to your right, yet you were able to keep a nice exposure on the left side.

Really nice.

Hi Joe: You're killing me with these wonderful Eagle images. Ahh... timing is everything. I like this shot. It tells a great story. I like the habitat (and can visualize clearly all the details :-)

I think there is more detail in the shadowed part of the wings that could be brought out with some selective shadow/highlights.

Great interaction and angle. The color temperature looks a bit warm on my monitor.

My sentiments exactly Keith! Still had a great time up there!
