Juvenile Portrait

Gallery: AvianPosted November 26, 2016114 views4 comments

Last photo in my series of shots I took of the young Bald Eagle that I was able to sneak up on. I shot this close-up portrait just before it calmly walked off to a nearby clearing and flew away.

Sony a6300, FE-70200 f/2.8 GM with 2XTC @ 396 mm, ISO-100, f/5.6, 1/640, hand held.

Great look at this majestic bird. You are lucky to be in Alaska with all the eagles - but maybe not so much for the winter... frown

Fine detail, nice profile, and complimentary BG. Maybe a little more room at the top?

Superb detail in the plumage, Gary, and the debris on the beak helps tell the story.

Very nice color and detail. The background and your sharp range of focus really makes this image. Nicely done!

Super nice close-up portrait of this youngster Gary! The diffused sunlight really makes this one for me.

Very Nice Series laugh
