You have produced a marvelous flying action photograph of a majestic graceful looking Bald Eagle. The eagle's beautiful spread wings are seen in brilliant detail. I also admire the 'impressionism'-like forestry background that you captured via your camera.

Comment from Lucas Sizov


Spectacular shot Pat!! This is the winner! Looks like almost everyone reviewed it with the six star rating. It deserved the gold crown of all time best and six golden star again! It will be ranked as one of your best, I think. Every aspect is perfect, including the composition, the colors and sharpness, the position of a flying eagle and soft background. Big congratulations Pat!!!!

Superb capture of this flying Eagle! I love the wing position and the spread of the feathers at the tips of the wings. The sharpness of the eagle is excellent and the background is blurred enough to avoid being distracting. Very well done!

    Thank you so very much Barbara! I managed to get several shots but this is my favorite because of the downward wings! I am honored by your six stars!

This is amazing! What a rare sight to capture in a photo. The details of the eagle are really excellent. The composition is right on and the colours are perfect. You can really feel the eagle's power as he is flying. Well done!

This is GORGEOUS AlaskaPat!
A nice capture - so sharp, and beautiful use of dof to get the blurred, darkened background.
Nice crop that he is sitting in the two thirds space of the left. Wonderful colours in his beak and claws, that balance each other off.
Perfect balance of lighting. And the whites, great!
Amazing. You definitely have such a wonderful backyard! :)

Keep creating,
Ann, OpenroadFootprint

This capture is extraordinary. I am impressed with the sharpness and refinement of detail sand the realism of color. The photo is perfectly focused and exposed and has good depth. The stop-in-action is perfect. The pose of the bird is striking. The Eagle is excellently placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

since almost eight years that I am on this site, I have never seen a photographer receiving 15 six stars for a pic; it is indeed an outstanding and so unusual capture of the bald eagle;
