A pair of bald eagles at sunset from my eagle tour in March.  I set my exposure for the most colorful part of the sky and panned with the birds till they crossed it.

Nice contrasty colors Robert. There is just enough detail on the plumage that I can identify the birds as bald eagles. I like this one.

Nice. Great color.
You cannot save time, you can only spend it wisely, or perhaps, freeze a moment of it forever in a photograph

Remarkable image and quite artistic. Good wing positions on both birds and a killer background.
