Another from my trip last year to AK. One of the few times the light, the wind direction, my camera :D and the eagle all worked together at the time.

Cheers

Oh man, this is as good as it gets! The anticipation before the strike is great. Looks like a very slight Magenta tint on my monitor.

Great shot indeed! :shock:

An awesome image, Carl! :lol:
No color cast is seen on my CRT mon. Perfect timing and exposure.
Perhaps, some tech data will help too ...

A classic eagle image! Nicely done. Now, did he get a fish or not??

whoah! what a sense of deja vu! I could swear I just saw a shot just like this! :shock: Even though some other guy got the same thing - I still think it is very nice.

Very cool -- I especially like the intense look and the posture.
