Eagle Portrait
Lots of eagle stuff lately. Here's one I got this fall. Driving down a logging road and saw this juvie sitting in a tree. He allowed me to move up within 20 feet of the base of the tree, taking photos all the way. This is almost a full frame shot with my Canon 50D and 100-400L.

Great shot Ken. On occasion I can get one to set for a while but when I do the light is usually wrong.

Beautiful detail, Ken. This image looks a little "blue" on my monitor. It might benefit from some warming.

Nice portrait. You even caught a bit of a catch light.
