Excellent job considering the direction of the light you had to work with, Ken.

Even with that light, the image is still very beautiful, in my opinion. And the subject is amazing, I'm a big fan of that bird.

Ken, couldn't resist brightening the eagle up and toning down the green cast. See what you think. Such a great capture.
