Wet feet
Back to eagle shots. I have been getting some decent shots but can't seem to find a place where I can get to the right side for the light. This day I was shooting into the sun the onlything saved it was it was overcast enough to give me some to work with. We had went here Sat morning because the sun was going to be out but there was just too much light and after about 10:00am it was just too much backlight and glare. I was pulling the trigger a bit soon when I got this one had a bunch with the toes just touching the water. Fri& Sat I got a bunch of fish and splash, thought I had it made. then I got slow or they got faster. Still fun to watch and shoot. This one got a bit close and I clipped his wing, I still like the shot.
Olympus E 510 600mm eq 1/1600 f8 ISO 400 cropped out some ice and empty water

Cool shot! The title "Cold Feet" could also work :biggrin: as I'm sure that water is freezing.

NIce shot, Kendall. Gives the illusion that she's breaking through the ice.
