The sunlit feathers and beak, glow in the late afternoon sun. I can sense the power in this raptor as she descends. Watchfully waiting. You have don a fine job with this impressive capture. Ray

Awesome capture Pat. The golden light is magnificent on the the out stretched wings and tale on this Bald Eagle. Clarity and focus is excellent. Great composition with the off centre capture. Thanks for sharing such an awesome nature image.

This is such a beautiful capture of the bald eagle coming into land. The light is perfect showing the beautiful colors in his wings. The focus is so crisp. Great one!

Fantastic.The angle of the sun is perfect. The highlights in the wing is something else. Black part. Light part. I don't think I said stunning photo.

Wow! This is absolutely stunning!! The warmth of the light hitting the feathers really separates each of them out as individuals and really highlights their texture. I love the ombre effect in the background very artistic!! Another shot that should be hanging in a gallery!! Well done

For nature photogs this shot is the 'Holy Grail'.

I don't have the words that would be good enough for this breath taking shot. If I tried I would only embarrass myself, so I won't.

This is the photo that demonstrates the beauty of golden hour light. This is simply rare.

Your camera settings are perfect. The focus is sharp throughout.

This one I certainly would put on the wall in my home on the range ... Bob

What a fantastic photo,Pat! Love the golden light you were able to capture highlighting this regal bird's outstretched wings, and coloring it's tail feathers, as well as adding a nice glow to it's impressive beak! An impressive photo, congrats!
