Soaring Eagle

Flight shot of a Bald Eagle. I like the wingspread on this one as well as the light. Full frame top to bottom cropped from a horizontal. The Eagles have pretty much left the area around here now. We were fortunate to have good numbers of them this year.

Thanks for looking, comments & suggestions are always appreciated!

Just about perfect!
Great pose, eye contact, fine detail, clean BG and well-composed.

Nice wing spread (gotta love the curled tips) and nice light.  Fabulous shot, Steve.
