Just returned from Poland and had a great time with lots of sea eagles. Sorry for not posting for a while but I've been away most of the time. For more eagle images, please have a look at my brand new Blog! http://www.edwinkatsphotography.com/en/blog.html

I absolutely love this. I wish the one didn't have the braclets, but not much you can do about that unless you want to clone them out. This is a real winner!!!

WOW!!

This is an incredible picture! I've never gotten to photograph anything like this, but I love photographing eagles. I love the way the wings are spread out and how they are surrounded by snowflakes. The talons look awesome! I like how they are looking at each other. I can't believe how sharp this is! Great picture!

Stunning image with the action and snow falling. I like how all the talons are open and clearly visible along with the wing spread. The larger image was a pleasure to view, well done.

Great action shot ! Wonderful how you framed them just before they reached each other. Was this by the wat 'staged' or somewhere 'in the wild' ? Cheers, Hans

Thanks all

These birds are wild Hans. There is food involved to lure them but they are very wild indeed!!
