The weather in Homer was delightful, the birds were plentiful, and this image defined ALASKA for me. Thanks Chas.

Great job incorporating the Kachimak mounts with the flying Eagles.
The sunshine really added something to our shotting opportunites.
It was nice meeting you.

Very interesting capture with the two birds and the background. A nice Alaska feel to it, like you said.

Sun shining on the mountains. Something I missed during my last trip.

The horizon seems a little off. Other than that nit, I like it. I really like the way the birds don't overlap and they stand off from the mountians.

Well done. I like this shot a lot. The mountains in the BG add a lot as well.

Jack, nice shot. I think that it would be stronger without the top bird.

I agree with Alan on the top bird. Love the mountain BG. Nice shot.

This is really a cool shot! I love the mountains in the background and I actually like that there are two eagles in the photo. That top one looks like it is coming right at you. This one screams "Alaska".

The horizon is a bit off kilter but otherwise, an eviable image. The birds are superb!
