Challenge: Birds II (Advanced Editing VII) Camera: Nikon D3 Lens: Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR Location: Jurong Bird Park Singapore Date: Jan 26, 2008 Aperture: F7.1 ISO: 800 Shutter: 1/160s Galleries: Nature, Animals Date Uploaded: Jan 26, 2008 Add photograph to your favorites Add photographer to your favorites	Captive eagle captured at Singapore's Jurong Bird Park. I was so fortunate to have this bird come down from it's perch to have a drink. I can tell you what an amazing bird it was. Really made me sad thinking that this magnificent bird ought to be soaring freely instead of being cooped up.

A memorable sight and you captured this eagle's essence. You have some nice photo locations in Singapore...

Excellent detail, particularly in the eye, and good rich color. Looks like a bad hair day, too. :-) Seriously, great shot.

Great detail (feathers even look wet) and lovely color and bokeh in the background to set him off. Maybe could use a smidge more DOF to get all the neck feathers in focus.
