    Stellar Sea Eagle, Japan

    I am looking forward to returning to Japan early next year.

    Off to Botswana in a few hours.

    Manual (spot on snow +2.3EV), 1/1250 @ f/8, ISO 800
    Post-production- 15in MBP, LR3, CS5, NIK

    See you where there is light, or at the computer

    I'd like it just a tad higher in the frame but other than that, it is stunning.

    Really like the dorsal view of the wings while still having reasonable eye contact.

    Chas:

    Well exposed, nice separation from snow, angle in frame with enough bank to make the wing position work.

    Safe travels to you.

    Cheers

    Looking at images like this (and many other on BPN) make me realize what a perfect designer Mother Earth is. Beautiful harmony of colors between the feathers of the bird and the snow. Nice pose and track sharp, well exposed and so on. Very pleasing image; safe trip and post many images when you return.

    Lovely flight angle. Great light and detail. Stunning against the snow. Thanks for sharing.

    It looks as if you are flying above the Eagle! Beautiful.

    I love seeing images of these eagles, Chas, and your exposure off the snow is masterful as always...
    Enjoy Botswana! Eager to see your African images

    Love the snow in the background. Great wing position and I like the eye contact.

    Another killer shot, in every way and as expected...but you still have the dust spot showing that was evident in the last excellent image you posted.
