Please tell me how I could have gotten a better shot given the fog and snow. This is a 1/3 crop from a larger image taken at 200mm with a DX sized camera, so there was quite a bit of weather between me and the Whitetailed Eagle. Those are pine trees in the background at about 100yds. Equipment was a Nikon D90 with 18-200mm, 1/1250, f5.6, +0.3EV. I used photoshop curves to increase the contrast a bit, but going much further doesn't really help.
My buddy with a full-frame Canon and the 100-400mm lens was pulling out shots with a whole lot more contrast and clarity. I don't know if it was equipment or technique.
Here is a screen shot of the histogram from the original (uncropped without contrast work) image:
