Immature Bald Eagle

[Danny J Brown]

Taken along the Mississippi River at Clarksville, MO. I took this photo on a cold winter day when the high was only 5 degrees (F). I liked the wing position and overall blur of the bird except for the head. I checked the center focus point on DPP and it was dead on the bird's eye, just by accident on my part of course. I was using my beloved toy lens (300 F4 L IS) that day but I'm looking forward to returning with my 500. Featured on the January page in the 2010 Missouri Natural Events Calendar. Thanks for looking.

Canon EOS 40D; 1/400; F/5.6; EC 0; ISO 200:(; Handheld.

Hi Danny,
Good work here! Love the pose. Pretty excellent considering the ss. I might darken the water in this one just a bit to keep my eye from falling to it.

beautiful pose and nice exposure , Looks like its not me only who uses ISO 200 all the time:D

Nice shot Danny, everything is perfect and this shot would have gone to the top without the lethal dose of blur! My advice-> never shoot at ISO 200!

Danny, good banking angle, and I like the wing position. Yep, a higher ISO would have got you sharper detail. Well captured.

Great setting Danny nice pose showing the power in the wings of these large birds I like the trailing waterdrops. Well Done!
