Pat,
A beautiful stop action picture of this juvenile Bald Eagle in flight, highlighted by the "Midnight Sun" showing the shine on it's flight feathers & catching the sparkle in it's golden eye. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and classical composition captures us an enjoyable in-flight moment. Like those big wings! Exposure and sharpness are OK. Nicely done!

Nice stop action scene with this juvenile caught in full downstroke of those young but powerful wings.

Good positioning in the frame with the bird flying into yer open part of the scene.

A nice wildlife shot Pat ~ Steve

The flight of the youngster is impressive. Although the young Eagle shows still some juvenile features, the wings seem already full developed. The angel-wing pose shows the big plumes perfectly. The stop-in-action is perfect. Your photo is excellently focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The photo is well composed and framed. The bird is expertly placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

an excellent close up Pat of this juvenile bald eagle in flight; in contrast to one comment, this pic is very sharp with excellent capture of the eye;

A beautiful image. Despite the low level of the light his face is lit up beautifully and the eagle really stands out against the dark background. Do you know the ISO this was shot at?

Thanks so much Mike! I am honored by your six star rating ! This was ISO 400, the sun is low in the sky behind me.

Cool,Pat!
You captured a great looking photo of it just as it 'rose into the cool of the evening' just like the Creatures of Faery do!
'Good Show',my friend!

You captured a beauty here. Lots of action. The water he disturbed seems perfectly frozen with proper shutter speed, yet the bird himself is not 100% in focus. But you're so close that it almost doesn't matter. I like the composition you chose, you were able to distinguish the colours on the far shore from the water nicely. The feathers are beautifully spread and you showcase them well here. A great shot overall, well done!
