Safely Down
A Bald Eagle landing on stump in a small swamp, mid-morning light
This is a completely wild bird, no feeders or baits of any kind were used, the perch is used by a mated pair often.

:eek:oooooooohhhhhh, that's nice!! great capture!!
Nice timing. The leading edges of the wings look a little over sharpened compared to the rest of the bird. I kind of wish we could see both eyes also. I would probably selectively sharpen the eye a tad. I love the talons griped around his perch.
Great pose! Love it.
Great pose, eye contact, light and details. The BG between the bird's right wing and OOF feathers looks brighter than the rest. Should be easy to fix.
