Bald Eagle - Portrait

[John Harper]

Hi There

Shot of Bald Eagle called "Cheyenne" at HCT they have a rest from flying in the winter, but i am looking forward to their return to display around Easter time.

This shot was one of those rare occasions when I was using the 500mm and not shooting wide open... wonders will never cease.

Great looking Baldie John with backlighting but still good detail under neck and in wings. I am still, waiting fo my first image of one of these up close. Hope I get one this nice when I do. :)

See.....using f/11 isn't so bad......look what a great image you have. I love black BGs and the pose is terrific for this stately bird!!!!
