Hello Harry,
Now this is pretty cool, and three for the price of one, what more can a photographer ask for. The action captured in this shot is fantastic. :)0

Hello Harry,
It was well worth tolerating the freezing conditions to get a shot like this of three White-headed Eagles frolicking in the air.
Excellent sharpness against a cold blue sky BG. Fine lighting and composition.
A beautiful and remarkable shot!
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hello Harry!
Well, I have to say that my first opinion was the some: 3 pictures of the some specimen :)
But if really not (of course I belive ;>) this is a great documentary picture! It is not easy to catch such action using video camera and you did it with "normal" camera :) My congratulation and best greetings!

I like wonderful colours, prefect details and nice composition. Bravo. It is so rare shot. My compliments and TFS.

Hi Harry
A few days ago I asked: can you present us anything better? OK I stop asking silly questions...
It is simply amazing!
Quite a few jpeg artefacts but that's only problem at TN.

Hallo Harry,

Wat een schitterend plaatje heb jij ons voorgeschoteld. Mijn eerste reactie was toen ik de thumbnail zag: Dat zijn 3 foto's aan elkaar gemonteerd. Nou mijn complimenten hoor. Glas en glashelder. Mooie natuurlijke kleuren. Jouw POV was, ondanks de kou PRIMA. Groeten Bob

Stunning pic Harry!
I also thought this was three exposures in one. The fact that it's not makes it priceless.
The sky is a fantastic blue which sets of the eagles well, you've exposed them well even though they are dark and the sun looks to be bright.
Excellent freezing of the action. Details are good, I wonder though if your sharpening has caused some mild pixelation around the edge of the birds or is this due to compression? Either way it's only a minor point and this is still a mighty fine photo.
I can't wait to finish my teaching course and get out and use the 70-200vr properly!
Regards
Simon

What an interesting behavior to turn over the fish to female (now I think she should cook it). This is a stunning photo with outstanding focus and exposure. It is a dramatic composition and most beautiful blue sky. It was, in my opinion, a once-in-the-lifetime shot and well worth braving the cold. Congratulations! A favorite!

Harry, this is again most impressive!

A triple capture like this i guess it's worth staying that much in such a freezing cold.
The poses and the behavior here is fantastic and you managed to show it all to us with amazing sharpness and details as well as colors.

I also took a look at all your photos and imediately realized that you definitely deserve to be one of my favorite photographers here on TN :)

Bravo and TFS

Hi Harry,

How wonderful to capture three beautiful eagles in a formation like this! Each one is sharp and clear with wonderful colors and details. I like how the top one is looking down on the others. A magnificent blue sky for a background,

Hi Harry,
You were in the right place at the right time, even though it was very very cold. I can't actually image those sorts of temperatures. Anyway, the image is just fantastic and you explanation of what is happening is wonderful too. The Eagle's look just superb against the glorious blue of the sky. An incredibly beautiful capture, of a wonderful moment in time, congratulations.
Cheers,
Debbie
