Eagle Flyin' Up River

[Keith Bauer]

This image was captured in Yellowstone a couple of years ago. The eagle was flying up the Madison River while I was photographing otters. I've cropped this in from the original since the eagle was too close to get the entire bird in the frame.

20D, 500mm with 1.4x 1/400 @ f/8 ISO 200, -2/3 EV

Great opportunity for an in-flight closeup. Great details and I would apply some noise reduction on the BG.

[Doug Brown]

Nice sharpness Keith. Also I like the sense of motion the BG conveys.

[Ed Cordes]

I like the sharpness alot. The BG does look a bit noisy, but I like the agressive flow to the image.
