Waiting at sunrise on the Madison River for some moose we'd previously seen to emerge from the woods I amused myself with a bald eagle in the predawn light, which was patrolling the river corridor. I liked the relationship between the small bushes on the hill and the eagle. (The moose didnt appear despite our best effort to will them out).

The tree & bird silhouettes look superb against the colourful sky.

I like this a lot but would perhaps crop some off the bottom.

I like this a lot, but the real image for me is a letterbox crop, with the lower edge halfway between the two trees.

Well seen and taken.

Lovely shot John, I really like your approach to wildlife photography and you are always looking to stretch the bounderies so fair play to you sir.
