I am trying KK's web posting technique so KK let me know what you think.
Anyway, another eagle from last weekend. For some reason the immature ones were more active the fist day but it made for many good shooting opportunites.

Thanks for looking and all comments welcome and appreicated!

MkII 500 4.5 with 1.4 x. Cropped to vertical.

iso 200, f8, evaluative metering, no comp.

A little more USM is all this needs. Lovely shot.

Excellent shot of a 1-year old (basic I or white belly I) bird. Very dynamic.

What a dynamic capture with all the feathers spread out and such pretty light. I would selectively sharpen the head just a bit more to improve this beautiful image.

Wow!! You are really getting some nice ones Dan. Incredible flight shot.

An excellent shot, Dan!
With a bit more sharpening and contrast adjustment (level), here is the re-post ...

:shock: Lovely, Dan, very dynamic and beautiful display. Looks like you can still post a larger file size, so we can see even more detail in these great shots.

A fine image, Dan. Love the transverse position. A bit contrasty in what appears to be harsh light.
