Golden Eagle incoming
Adult Golden Eagle from last week in Finland. The photo was taken from a hide. There was a lot of branches behind the eagle, which I have cloned out. I was actually surprised that my MarkIII could maintain focus on the incoming bird with all the clutter in the BG.

1D MarkIII + 500/4; iso400; f5; 1/2000; 90% of fullframe.
