Wisconsin Eagle

Gallery: AvianPosted January 5, 201698 views6 comments

The eagles were widespread this year due to a lack of ice on the Misissippi. I did manage a few decent shots, however. I liked the nice look at the feather detail and the snow on his back.

That and you were able to position him without any twigs intersecting his head or front. Nively done.

A great look at the eye, and excellent job on the exposure of the whites, Jerry. Nicely done.

Hi Jerry,

I like the pose, clean sky, and the nice window through the branches. I also like how you handled the whites too...............Jim

Nice "over the shoulder" shot, Jerry. I like that you were able to pretty much avoid any interfering branches. Was the ISO 100 a conscious choice?

I like that over the shoulder pose Jerry. Nice work on the whites, they are a challange sometimes. The branches frame the Eagle nicley. This is surely a typical habitat for Eagles in our part of the world. Very well done! devil
