Bald Eagle Flight

This is another from my Alaska Eagle trip.

I was down on my knees photographing a pair of eagles. This one decided to fly and passed in front of me with the river as a background.

Cropped to a pano format, but basically full frame horizontally.

5D Mark III
500 f/4 with 1.4x
ISO 1600
1/800 @ f/5.6

Larger Version provided

Thanks for taking a look and providing your input.

An exquisite capture of one of America's most powerful and regal birds. Really nice silhouette against that subtle BG. :toast:

Nice shot and really like the decision to crop pano on this one. Got to love the low light performance of that 5D M3. This looks excellent at ISO 1600.

A good composition and choice of crop. I like the muted tones of the background.
