Wouldn't want to tangle with his/her beak. Nasty looking instrument! Great capture, so crisp and clear. Thanks for sharing!

On my screen this seems to be more a Blue Beauty than a Black one. May be a light effect. Great DOF. The background has something strange. But Which Eye! Callie must be happy of it!

Bello primer plano Willie de esta maravillosa ave.
Gran POV y encuadre, con adecuada nitidez, considerando la cámara utilizada.

Beautiful close up Willie of this wonderful bird.
Great POV and frame, with suitable clearness, considering the used camera.

Very nice portrait Willie. I know your shooting with a video-cam but I have to tell you it almost looks like a photo-shop creation with the soft details & brushed looking BG. Whatever the reasons it as an overall artistic brush-stroke look. Thanx for posting!

Jy en jou video kamera maak my jaloers! As you should know by now, I love portraits and this one is no different. I like the "searching" look on his face. Well done

Thanks for posting

Willie, my mond hang oop! I can't believe the quality you get out of the camcoder. Exceptional pose in this portrait. That stare into the distance is striking. Where did you take it?

Nice shot Willie.Is that really the colour of his beak? Beautiful bird.

Very well captured.
A great pose from this fine bird,good composition and DoF.
Good work,very well done.

Bravo Willie great capture, Thanks for sharing!

Willie if you do this with your video cam, please buy a good photo cam soon. The quality of this one is not as good as the impressing owl or the others you posted, but the subject and the composition are wonderful, and BG special.

I love the proud look you captured here, even the sparkle in the eye is perfect...well done!

An excelent capture and portrait of the black eagle.
I did a WS to get rid of the background noise for you, hope that's o.k. with you.
