Eagle Banking

I captured this immature bald eagle soaring over the Mississippi River. I liked the nice look at the huge wing and the intent stare that he had. It was hand held.

Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice job on hand holding the 500 and interesting to see how large an eagle's wing can be.

The extended wing is awesome! I like the way the background frames the Eagle. What is the background?

Phil,

The background consists of trees along the riverbank with the sky showing through the branches.

I really like how the light in the background branches frames the wing. Nice catch.
