Shame about the three, not that it hurt.


It didn't hurt in terms of the blue ribbon, but the score would have been 7.59 without it. That's a big difference.

Congratulations, a beautiful image.
I have gone to a neighboring state, tracked eagles in a van and shot with a 400mm, never getting this close. My experience was wonderful, pictures didn't seem to excite anyone but me. How did you get this???? It is stunning

Awesome capture. The details on the white feathers is spectacular. And the light hits the face just right.

Beautiful shot with lovely lighting and DOF and Bokeh but somehow I can't help wishing that more of the eagle's wings and body were in view which would emphasise the beauty of it's flight.
