Hi Bob,

Can feel the anticipation of getting the perfect shot. This was nor yet obviously the one but a very good intermediate result. Caught in action... Very good composition and sharpness considering... Good Luck!!!

Hé Hé Bob, you're lucky to even get that close to those noble beings! What a nice inflight movement you captured, with much details... they are huge birds, look at the wingspan, it's even hard to place into the frame of a photograph. We feel the eagle's strength in his wings. Light is dim, too many branches in the back but let me tell you, what a sight you share with us today! Your quest is starting to reward you. Superb!

Impressive! This is a very good eagle Photo! Caught it in mid flight! From the influence of TrekNature, I been trying to get some bird photos my self, and they are pretty hard. Well Done! Cheers Josh Lewis.

Hi Bob,
Mate a pat on the back for this one, great capture what I would give to see this in the wild, Ok the dull light didn’t help but still a great image, and that fierce look in this bird of prey eye is stunning, nice work sir, all the best Cheers Rick :)

wonderful Bob , great shot , great action , considering the weather here today , it is a fine photo. makes me wish I had been following you around rather than baking cookies :-D

we still have some time with the eagles here , seen a few on my way home today , they where flying quite high , right around the area your describing , perhaps a bit further out , likely the same birds. with your persistence you will surely get the one your looking for , hope to post one myself ;-)

regards

Not an easy shot to be sure: fast action, dark subject against a bright sky, twigs and branches to get in the way etc. etc. You did capture the moment though. I especially like those taloned feet. What a grip s/he must have! How cool to have these magnificent birds so nearby. I'll be waiting for a whole series of shots. Do you think they will nest there?

Hello Bob,
Interesting in-flight capture!
Action is well captured , and it seems to me like this is part of an attack action...
Great composition, fine details!

Hi Bob.
Superb action, in-flight picture of a majestic bird. Great timing, amazing framing and composition, perfect DOF and exposure parameters. Despite the light BG dark plumage of the bird is exposed very well. My kind regards and TFS.

hello Bob

what a great chance you have to leave not far
from where are these Eagles,

WOW ! SUPERB image shooted at the best moment of the fly,
fine POV and framing, great sharpness and details,
personnaly for me with a GREAT shots like this one,
if the light or luminosity is not the best, it goes secondary,
the main thing of the shot is that great flight of the eagle
and your superb moment to shoot it in photo, TFS

Hello Bob,
Darn fine image considering the light my friend. Look at the business end of his feet, killing machine extraordinaire. Bob if they are frequenting an area, have you ever given though to a blind and some road kill as bait now that it's warming up, remember they are scavengers.
