This eagle has been nesting on a tiny bay island for years, and we hit it just right with the wildflowers all in bloom.

This is beautiful. The colours in wildflowers and the setting nicely compliment the bird. Lots of sharp detail surrounding the bird and the good seperation from the background makes this special.
Hi Chas -- This is one gorgeous image.....an exemplification of nature's pure beauty. Man, that eagle sure was cooperative to land in that spot! I always enjoy the anticipation of seeing what you will come up with next. Thanks.
