I`ve taken this image last week in Poland (near Lodz). It was very cold, but sunny so
I was very glad to have good light conditions and catch this adult see-eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) in flight.
The Background is a forest.
Taken with
D5 with Nikkor Zoom 200-500VR:
500mm/5.6, iso 450, 1/1600sec
This is a lovely Whitetail.Well done.HA excellent and I enjoy seeing those great feet trailing along behind.Nice background as well.The eye is just a bit lost by the surrounding strong beak colour IMO.But can hardly fault it.
Hi Eric, what a dramatic flight pose, as I really like the curvature of the forward wings. You have captured a good HA with this flight pose, and I like the show of the left leg peeking through the tail feathers. I would like to see a version with more space top, left and bottom. The Eagle seems a bit cramped for such a great flight pose.
Sweet wing position. Agree with more room all around.
I would bump up the midtones a bit and I would soften the edge of the tree that cuts up through the far wing.
Well done,
Gail
Great picture! I love the head angle and the curvature of the flight feathers. Overall, you have done the bird justice is representing its power, grace, and beauty in this capture.
Gorgeous. I love the combo background. And the classic pose.
with love, artie
