This is the next frame from my last post. I love the pose and the power that the Eagle shows going into the dive. The speed they pick up is amazing.

Dennis: Thanks for the tip on my previous post for exposing the whites of Eagles. I am definitely going to try that next chance I get. Sounds like it should work! cool

Thanks for looking, comments & suggestions are always appreciated!

Another really nice dive pose, Steve. I really like the energy and concentration here. The wisps of cloud in the bg add some nice depth to the image.

You're welcome on the other. That's what this website is all about.

The other post illustrates a bit of free wheeling by the eagle to set up and attack while this one is locked on and on target. Both are excellent.

Great capture. Very intense with the look in the eye and the talons poised for the kill.

Lots of strong focus and intent in this shot, Steve! I love the tight wing positions, designed for maximum diving speed! Very nice capture.

Nothing to add to the other comments. I really like the "gear down" diving pose of the Bald Eagle.
