This was taken a few years ago on my family vacation to Australia.
A good Australian friend had set up a boat ride to a beautiful off shore island that these unique eagles like to hunt from. Seeing these beautiful birds hunting was a fantastic experience and one I will never forget. It's also pretty challenging shooting from a rocking boat and trying to keep the incoming eagle in the frame. I missed a few good opportunities but I managed to get a few nice frames in the beautiful early in the morning light, this being one of my favorites.  I hope you like it.

Thanks as always for looking and for your input.  I appreciate it

A beautiful image of a bird I didn't know existed.

Details, pose, light, the prey item are all as good as it gets. Crazy high impact image presented perfectly as usual.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the nice comments and I'm glad you like the image.

It's one of my favorites from my Australia trip and I'm really indebted to my friend for taking me out on this awesome trip to photograph these beautiful eagles.
It was definitely an experience of a lifetime!!
