American Bald Eagle (C)
Hi everyone, on yet another soggy wet day :mad: , I headed off to the Cotswolds Falconry Centre, to cheer myself up :biggrin: . The weather was crud, and the Birds understandably didn't want to come out. Places like these must be really suffering in this weather, as the rely on visitors. Anyway, here is the Iconic American Bald Eagle, a really lovely bird in my opinion.

Canon EOS 7D
Sigma 500mm f4.5 EX
Tripod
Gimbal
f4.5
1/250 sec
ISO 400
500mm plus crop
Processed in Lightroom 4 and CS6

Very sharp Paul! Tis a little tight in the frame for my tastes and the green mush at the bottom really needs to go as it attracts the eye but what detail the beak looks like it is coming out of the screen at you!
