This youngster was just about the only Fish Eagle that took off or flew in the right direction in 9 days on Rhino Island, I hope for better luck next time.

Larger version of this really begins to show off the capture. Nice exposure and details. Light is a bit harsh as evidenced by the darker shadows, but handled pretty well.

Well you caught him and well. Love flared wing tips and everything about this shot.

Excellent job of capturing this difficult find. There is a little haloing around the bird that could be fixed (or so I hear-I can't do it)
