This is absolutely gorgeous! I have always wanted to see an eagle in person, but this is so detailed and beautiful I feel like I am! The yellow lighting on her wings is so perfect and the whole bird is in great focus. Very nice!!

Beautiful, simply beautiful with those golden accents in the wings, feathers, and beak. The wing spread is outstanding, the head nice, and your capture of it is superb.

Such a stunning piece with a an incredibly beautiful subject. You've captured the motion of her wings so that's framed perfectly in the shot. And the background is well blurred out so as not to distract from this incredible bird. Beautiful!

Pat you know I love your photos but this is in my opinion one of your best! What a gorgeous captured image. Amazing detail. Perfectly framed with the beautiful eagles wings stretched against the muted sky. This allows the gorgeous feathers to show with great color and detail. Absolutely priceless!

Are you sure this is not a painting? :-) I cannot picture where you were standing to be at almost eye level with this magnificent eagle. The sinking sun lighting up parts of his feathers is so unusual. Five minutes later you might have missed this dramatic lighting. Your photo deserves the accolates already won!

Holy moly batman, what a wonderful simple but dramatic photo. The contrast, color and detail are very sharp, and I'm sure you were at the right place at the right time. One suggestion I'd make is please consider printing this on metal. I think the detail would really pop.

Oh my goodness, Pat. This is quite an extraordinary capture of a bald eagle soaring down for a landing. You must have a fantastic telephoto lens! The detail in the wings, highlighted by the sun, is an added bonus to this fine image.
The golden glow gives her the glory in this beautiful portrait of a majestic bird! Amazing!

Comment from Charlotte Morse


Oh my goodness, this is an extraordinary shot! Wow!

The lighting is stunning, the entire bird is spot on in focus, there's nothing distracting in the background and, despite the speed he was no doubt travelling, you've kept to the rule of thirds.

I'm more than impressed, I'm gobsmacked!
