A wild Eagle Lands on a local Wisconsin frozen lake searching for bait left in the area by Ice Fisherman.
handheld
20D
50-500 Sigma
cropped to a square because I when I originally took the shot I decided all that snow was kind of a waste. So I have left the shot as originally processed (for now)
You nailed this one Kenn - Wings up in ideal position and landing gear at the ready!! Good detail in dark and light plumage.
Note your comment re square format but I would like to see just a little more space particularly on left and bottom for eagle to land into.
The wings position are very nice. However I think the image is too tight. I also see a lot of noise under the wings but I'm sure you can take care that using any NR software. I think you did well with the panning and exposure.
Lovely and agree big time with the too tight comments. I love to do the eagles in nice soft light.
Later and love, artie
