Apart from a slight rotational crop, this is essentially full frame. I like the orange glow around the bird against the blue of the sea.

Regards,

This one really works well- I agree , the orange glow makes it special. Exposure on the eagle is much improved from the last one- beautiful contrast with the water. Great action photo!
What equipment are you using? Specs on your shot?

Des, I really like back-lit shots--but I fail miserably trying to get them. Well done.

Gene, I find that having a camera with good dynamic range helps, as do getting the exposure right. The latter is critical. A lot of trial and error...
