As you know, close-ups push my ON button. The diagonal angle of the head and the amazing detail place this among my favorite eagle shots.

I really like it--look like he is contemplating something. I'm surprised you did not stack the converters and do just the eyeball:)

WOW :D :D another grand image from the Homer group.

Looked at the weather report for the next three days :( I sure hope that it is wrong. Snow and blowing snow rain dull skies. You guys have got a real challenge to take images in. Makes this one and EJ's all the better.

Keep warm and...dry.

The corner-to-corner composition gives this a dynamic feel. Excellent detail too. :D

I couldn't have said it better myself! Just how close can you get to these birds!? :shock: You keep raising the bar - congrats!

cheers, Oliver
