Absolutely perfect!
No one uses spot metering like you do to arrive at perfect exposures every time.
I think you should come on down to Australia and do some workshops.

"Nature Interpreted" - Photography begins with your mind and eyes, and ends with an image representing your vision and your reality of the captured scene; photography exceeds the camera sensor's limitations. Capturing and Processing landscapes and seascapes allows me to express my vision and reality of Nature.

Others have asked I do the same. Get some more mates interested and I will see what I can do in 2012.
Spot is very predictable and extremely accurate once you understand how it works and you develop a reference file in your mind. It eliminates the variables associated with subject size and tonal value relative to the background.

Incredible shot. I am in the eager to learn category but frequent this forum to learn and be inspired. Have not worked with Spot metering...but now want to learn. will visit your website to learn more...thanks
Talk about attitude of eagle here
Terrific techs as usual in this great image

Chas:
This is an excellent choice for the straight down the barrel theme, whether intentional or not.
Imperious looking, excellent techs, perfect amount of detail in snow for my tastes.
Are you using the cameras meter, or a handheld meter to do your spot metering?
Cheers

I almost always use the in-camera spot meter for wildlife. I used the handheld spot meter more for flash work, but I now find the FEL in-camera spot for flash works very well.

Such a beautiful image. I really love the composition, the colours and the sharpness of the bird.
with kind regards

I guess a bit more light on left side would have been nice but this sure is a winner.
More light on the left means less detail in the snow and feathers.
Chas
Beautiful image, sharpness, framing. I like everything about it, congrats.
Great pose and exposure...really good detail in the snow and the bird...I would love to see one of these guys one day
