    Hey David, I see that you enjoyed a lot with the visit to Homer and it seems that its been very productive. The most I like in this image is the fantastic simetry of the wings, fully spread, the hanging clawas and the light angle. Very iconic image but. Hope to see more :-)

    I love the outspread wings and talons. Good job on your exposure, the whites look good on my monitor. Are those mountains or clouds behind him?

    Symmetry at its best, and excellent exposure from the underwings. I like the dangling legs with the out stretched talons. The clouds in the BG adds to the image. Well captured David.

    Hi Joel, thanks for the kind comments. That is actually a fog line that was hanging over the ocean early morning.

    The fog adds a nice element to the image. Nice exposure and pose on this Eagle.

    Wow, you cleaned out on your Alaska trip, this one is not as dramatic as the other, but a classic, perfectly executed.

    Well done. Love the fog bank and the symmetry. Were you on your own or with a group? Was the bird baited?
