    Hope your not all getting tired of eagle images. I'm still editing from images from March
    This is something I rarely do crop an image to post, but this image was screaming pano to me. This is basically full frame then cropped to a 2 to 1 ratio.

    Camera Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV
    Shutter speed: 1/3200 sec
    Aperture: 4.5
    Exposure mode: Manual
    Metering mode: Partial
    ISO: 320
    Lens: EF70-200mm F4 IS
    Focal length: 200mm

    Magnificent pose. I think the image could be lightened slightly to show the feather details a bit more. Awsome shot.

    Fantastic, looks perfect on my screen in terms of brightness/detail. I'd love to see it posted a little larger too. The slim crop works well for this I think as well.

    Another vote for 1024 pixels wide! Great incoming pose and nice eye contact. I would like to see a bit more detail in the darks.

    I do not think it possible to tire of your eagle images. I think your crop idea works well here. The pose you captured is so dynamic, love the talons, makes me want to know what happened next.....

    I keep forgetting you can post at 1024px..... I have plenty of detail showing on my monitor.. Perhaps I need to recalibrate. Monitor variations make it tough!

    Terrific shot and I think that a lot of the perceived darkness is a result of the small image. I think lightening the blue in the water would help though.
