Absolutely gorgeous photograph of this female eagle and her spread up wings.
The way the sun shines on the feathers and helps to create the colors that contrast so nicely with the darker shades and the white head.
Great placement within the frame and such pleasing presentation, my friend.

Comment from FBI GUY


I have not seen a better photo today to get a 6.
I blew this up to check the focus and color especially after you mentioned the low light. You just plain nailed this shot. The focus is razor sharp and whatever lighting was left was used to perfection. The other side of the rating was that when eagles decide to land, they just land. So, you had to be ready to take advantage of this spectacular opportunity. Right place, with the right lens and the patience to wait for the best light and pose. Nice work. Gary

Hi pat, Absolutely love the golden hues you caught on the wings! I also love the spread of the wings. I rarely get to see bald eagles, so this shot with your skills as a photographer is so awesome! Focus is A+ making the shot very special. Thank you so much for sharing! :o) Nancy

You have indeed pictured this eagle in flight well Pat, and I can see by the golden touch of the feathers it was taken at sunset. I especially like the neutral background, and also how lovely the light is falling on the bird.

It is standing out sharp and well defined against the background, and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in the feathers of the bird.

I also like the format you have cropped the photo into, and that the eagle has been given room to fly into. A truly lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and also a perfect stop action.

This is a fine piece of bird Photography. This shows how we can find beauty even in some things that we otherwise do not notice.. The entire composition, colours, and light make this first-rate. Well Done!

Pat,
A stunning stop action picture of the Bald Eagle wings outspread as she looks for a spot to land upon. The setting sun adding a golden glow to her flight feathers & tail, beak & her all seeing golden eye. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

They always make a great subject to photograph . This one is a VERY well taken action shot and awesome pose! The sky doesn't help.. but that's not your fault . The focus is perfect, it has all the details so we can enjoy seeing her.

Comment from Myra Alvarado


The movement of the animal, the sharp focus of the subject, and the determination of the eagle's face all create such a great photo. This submission captures the beauty and grace of the animal. Even before reading the description of your post I had assumed that the sunlight was either setting or rising. It brings a gentle feel to the subject, balancing out the boldness of the animal.
