This sub-adult Bald Eagle (some dark feathers in head) was flying by on a sunny day. This photo is a very large crop (more than 50%) from the original nearly full frame bird. I liked the intense look of the Eagle in flight. Large photo shows some noise due to large crop. Comments appreciated.

1DIV, EF 600 + 1.4, ISO 640, f7.1, 1/4000, Tripod, Cropped as noted, A bit of sharpening on Eagle.

Impressive closeup and composition. If you do Lightroom you can select the background and reduce the noise there at least. Still a great photo.

Nice Frame. The crop does emphasize the intense look of the eagle.

The tight crop works very well with this image. Nicely captured.

This composition works well. Great look on the eagles face.

Sweet Photo!
