We went out a few times this year to a hot spot for eagle watching.
This is from the last time, but the first time out with my new (to me) Canon 300 f2.8 lens.
I was also using a Quantaray 2 X TC with it. Yes I know know, not the best TC, but really,
it worked pretty well.
On this day, I was able to watch a mature eagle with a fish, attempt to fend off an immature eagle
from taking it.
In the end, both went hungry as the mature had to drop it to fight off the younger eagle.
This is a full frame shot as they flew over the top of us.
It's not a great shot, no awards will be given, but it's one of the first captures that I've been able to get
when the birds are fighting over a meal.
Great interaction and capture. The tree in the FG is a bit distracting and I would desaturate the sky a few points. Too bad you had too much focal length for this situation.
Its usually not enough focal length ........ entire scene would have been great !!! Did capture a great interaction
Would go with Axel's suggestion for the sky !!! btw when I see images like that one makes me even happier to have the 200-400 lens !!!!! Big Congrats !!!
No, it's my fish.
