Amazing shot. Really, this is simplicity at its finest. The amount of detail is phenomenal, and the position of the eagle is perfect. Very, very well done.

Excellent work, Michael! The details, pose, eye and behavior are all working together to make a very compelling eagle in flight picture. Awesome in all respects! :toast:

Terrific shot indeed! It looks sharp as a tack, the tricky exposure was handled extremely well and the eagle cooperated by opening his beak. First rate stuff all the way around.

Nice catch and handheld is about the only way to keep up with them flying.

Nice catch. Looks like I need a 300 for the birds.
