Euro Sea Eagle
A Norwegian WT sea eagle doing what it does best.
Taken early from boat in the wonderful Floan Fjord ,Flatanger .
At 2.4 metres in wing span one would never expect these creatures to move as fast as they do.A buffer filling experience .

1/2500th ,F5.6 iso 400.HH
CR pp CS3 FF

I love the action here, especially the S shape of the spray. Have you considered a pano crop to exclude the white highlights in the foreground? I think it looks great.
