Eagle too
Kendall isn't the only one with the branch issue. This was taken in Wabasha, MN, and it's my version of an eagle hiding behind a branch. We can only shoot what nature offers.

20D, 500 f4L, 1.4x, f5.6, 1/800, ISO 100

Nice shot, glad to see I am not the only one that has the branch problem. Your color is better than mine but on the other monitor it is better. I guess I will have to see about getting that fixed.

I should be so lucky as to get a shot like this, twig and all. Very nice, Ken!

Very nice...the small branch is just a remnant of the real world.

Great shot. Why do they always land on a tree with branches in the way?

The branch isn't in front of the head, which makes it much less of an issue. I actually don't mind it at all in this instance. Excellent detail in both the lights and darks.
