I took this last month at Lake Clark National Park in Alaska.
Canon 5D Mark II
500mm + 1.4x
f/5.6
1/8000s
ISO 800
Cropped about 40% from original.
All C&C welcome. Thanks!

Scott,
I like the pose of the eagle, the intense stare it seems to have and how the blue sky compliments the warm tones of the eagle. The comp I am not to sure about, I think Imight crop some from the bottom to minimize the OOF green trees if this isn't a big crop.

Nice job on the exposure, Scott, and you have excellent detail. I like all the silvered out branches.

Beautiful pose Scott. Detail on the eagle looks very good. The distribution of large branches and the spruce boughs creates a difficult situation to compose.

Scott, I like the wind blown head feathers and the snaggy perch. I do see a bit of a halo around the eagle and much of the perch and other branches.

I like this composition a lot with the branches framing the bird nicely and the bird's wind blown feathers. With that shutter speed you probably could have dropped your iso down some.
