Like the isolation of the white against the neck and background. Crisp, clean shot and a decent result in a competitive challenge.
Now put the 100-400 down and back slowly away from the raptor centre Steve - how am I going to get any of my zoo shots over 6 if you keep hogging those slots ;-)
Them voters like to see the sharp, crisp veins in their eagle feathers, Steve. The blown/blurred head feathers hurt this in a very competitive challenge. Still a strong finish.
Seriously... Some of you guys'n'gals must've tamed eagle types to come and pose for you whenever you feel like it. I don't know if I can stand another eagle, shot with a 70-200mm lens... THIS BETTER BE SHOT WITH SOMETHING BIGGER! Full score from me....
Spectacular focus. I don't usually find eagle shots very interesting but this is phenomenal. I can see this used as a commercial photo for something very American, since it is the national bird (or at least I think that's a bald eagle) It has strength and perfect use of DOF and light. 9
