Pat,
A beautiful stop action picture of this Bald Eagle talking off from the water it's feet leaving a wake of spray that you have frozen by your fast exposure. It's flight feathers spread out like fingers on a hand. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

A great action shot. The detail in the eagle is very good and I like the view of his face over his outstretched wing. A fine composition with great splashing water.

Another lovely photo and moment from you I would love to have seen this moment in time, not only to capture a bald eagle in the wild but to actually get it in action like this, no distractions to take youe eye away from the main subject, very well done!

Hi Pat!
It looks like he might have missed whatever it was he was attempting to 'hook' in the water with his talons,doesn't it?
It's certainly a fine looking picture,my friend,and a pleasantly interesting one too!
'Good Show'! : )

A very nice nature photo presented here! Your fine and off-centre composition captures an enjoyable in flight moment. Like that huge wing display! Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done!

I guess he missed a fish. I see its empty claws and the water splash beneath the claws and the wing. You captured good detail. The colors are nicely natural. The bird is well placed at left. The composition is balanced.

    Thank you so much, he was actually hanging around on the sand as the tide was coming in, the water got higher then he liked so he is flying off. I really appreciate your thoughtful review!
