White-tailed Eagle II
I am off again to Finland in the morning and just wanted to share another Eagle shot with you before I go. This was taken on the same morning as the previous one but is a different dive. Very difficult to get anything in these kind of conditions but my trusty 1D M11 handled it really well.

Canon 1D MK11, 300mm lens, 1.4x, F4, 1/640, ISO 200

Nicely done. Light catching the beak is superb.

Enjoy Finland. I have to wait until 2010 for my first trip to the far North...

Best of the bunch but I think its in the processing , the others lost something with lack of detail in the shadows.
