Hi, Eric,

a beatuiful capture of a handsome eagle. the details of the bird are clearly shown, and it matches well with the bright blue background. thanks for sharing!

chrs,

Hello Eric. Even the juveniles seem wise and all-knowing, don't they! This is a nice capture - made unusual by the way the bird has turned its head completely around. Very good detail and color. Nice bg. TFS!

Hi Eric

A splendid close-up of this youngster here!
The details here are fantastic and you managed to take full use of the shallow DOF that your prime lens offers and make sure that the subject stands out very well from the canopy in the BG.
A spot-on exposure ensured that you would retain the best details and colors from both the brightest and the darkest parts of the frame and also that all the colors would be superbly saturated.
Great shot all-in-all and very good presentation, too. Thanks also for putting your entire exif in the note (a thing i really appreciate!).

BRAVO and TFS
Horia

Perfect capture and perfect pose!

Bonjour Éric! Quelle belle prise, superbe pose du Pygargue et netteté parfaite, excellente exposition et une belle image, bravo et merci!

Mario

I doubt that one could take a sharper image than this one Eric. It is spectacular. Shallow depth of field is very effective here.

Hello Eric,
Excellent sharp capture of juvenile bald eagle. They look so different from their parents....this dimorphism is not clear to me for birds of prey ! TFS.
