He got a nice meal there. I like his pose very much. How he bends his head is interesting band looks funny. He seems to make sure that the fish cannot escape. The photo is well focused and exposed. Bird and fish sow refined detail. The light emphasizes the fish and the tail and head of the bird nicely. The colors are realistic. The bird is well placed into the frame. The composition is balanced.

This eagle definitely appears to be checking on it's fresh sushi take out,looks like it will have a good meal! A fantastic capture with excellent focus and exposure,I see the light illuminating those white tail feathers as the eagle stands out beautifully against that turquoise sky. Just gorgeous!

Comment from Charlie Newman


Nice stop action capture of the eagle in flight. Well focused with excellent detailing in the eagle and its fish. I like the fact that I can see the talons around the fish. I also like that I can see the eagle's eye looking back at its catch. Great camera techniques.

    Thank you so much Charlie ! I love to spend time on the beaches in Homer and Anchor Point during summer, there are so many eagles!

Pat,
A beautiful stop action picture of this Bald Eagle flying overhead with a large fish held in it's tallons it's head tucked in as it checks it's catch. The clear blue sky making the perfect backdrop.
Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

Intriguing depiction of life and death in the wild. Great shot and composition showing action on an angle making the viewer know they are looking up at the drama. Reasons for my five star vote.

    You are welcome Pat.
Comment from supergold


a fantastic stop action Pat and a very strange behaviour: I wonder why he looks at his capture: trying to find what fish species it is, or trying to compare to previous fish he caught?

Excellent capture of a Bald Eagle flying with its fresh catch of the day. Natural colors and tones in the scene. Good lighting, nice feather detail, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a Very Beautiful Wildlife Photograph, well done Pat!
