 I'm getting better at using my new Bigma 50 - 500mm. Now until about Feb. 14th is a great time to head out to Starved Rock State Park (Illinois) for eagle pictures. Last year there were 135 eagles that arrived. So far this year there are only about 50. taken on a cloudy day.

A great view, but there's not a lot of detail showing and the whole shot is fairly low contrast. To be fair, these things don't exactly pose and it's a better capture than I could have done.

I think its unfortunate that the focus couldnt have been sharper... this would have been outstanding if it was.

Nice shot. I particularly like the transparent tail feathers. I wish the focus was better, and more detail in the shadows under the winds.

Beautiful bird, great shot, but the eye is slightly out of focus....didn't hurt you much with my scoring but it had to be considered.
