Another shot I managed from the pitching boat hand held. This one is cropped a little over 50%.

D7000, 300mm f/2.8 w/ 2.0 TC, f/13, 1/640s.

Walt. Love bald eagles. Bird looks a bit soft in the larger version. Some nicer light would have added to the feel, but it often does not cooperate.

Nice image of this eagle in habitat. I like that. Eagle looks pretty soft to me. f/13 seems like a pretty small aperture for this kind of frame for me.

Walt, I like the largely in-focus setting that the narrow aperture probably helped get you, but agree that on a rocking boat, opening up to get a higher shutter speed might have helped get this sharper.
