 There is a very active Eagles nest where I live. Last year a storm knocked down the nest so this year the Eagles have been very active rebuilding the next. Although this was taken on a very clear blue sky I thought the conversion to black and white really highlighted the majestic features of the eagle. They will be laying eggs shortly so I will have wonderful photo ops for eaglets

there's a kind of halo around the wings that distracts.
