[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The African Lions Safari Park in southern Ontario does have an aviary with a large selection of birds. Such as this Golden Eagle or is it juvenile Bald Eagle?
Well I'm not an expert so I leave it at this.

The range of this bird extends throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere. The golden eagle reaches speeds of 240 to 320 km/h when diving. Most of its prey is taken on the ground, mammals, such as foxes, rabbits, hares. But large birds, such as geese and cranes, are occasionally struck in midair.

nice portrait, TFS Ori

Hello Sky,
Great shot, this eagles head is well captured and the is alot of detail of the feathers. The frame is a little strong and thick I think and distracting from the main image but its a great photo,
regards
Matt.

Hi

Very sharp, details are good, composition and colours also.

Hallo Sky,
welche Art Adler dieser Krummschnabel ist, kann ich Dir leider nicht schreiben. Ich habe bei TN ein dunklen Bald Eagle eingstellt. Bei diesen war aber auch ein Schild mit Bezeichnung davor! Ich habe auch noch mehrere Raubvogelköpfe im Archiv. Kenne aber nicht die Bezeichnung. :-( - Was soll´s! Dein Adler gefällt mir sehr gut. Schaut sehr grimmmig drein. (machen die Alle) Sehr gute Schärfe, vor dem Baum als Hintergrund sehr gut freigestellt, farblich sehr ansprechend, insgesamt ein gelungenes Raubvogelportrait. Gratulation! Danke für dieses tolle Foto. Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende.
Gruß
Heinz

Nice portrayal of this wonderful bird Sky, with excellent framing and crop, good clear and accurate diffusion of the background.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, DOF, focus, sharpness, color, lighting, background, framing.

I like it: notes.

I don't like it: frame (personally I believe that to be so thick it distracts the attention, but as always it is only a point of view).

Nice post... TFS.

I couldn't resist the thumbnail, but the full-sized shot is even more stunning with superb clarity and a perfect composition that manages to capture the spirit of the creature. TFS

Hello Sky,
There's a true dignity emanating from this head :-) Just enough to look into his eyes or see the mighty bill! No wonder that eagles are national emblems in so many countires - as it is also for Poland!
Best greetings,
Michal
