An adult Bald Eagle flying by.  I waited until it was in front of a good landscape view before I started shooting..

Sony a6500, FE 100-400 GSM @ 100mm, ISO-160, f/5.0, 1/3200, hand held.

Lovely image. Background adds a lot to the frame.

Gary: your photo is impressive, especially when viewed large as the eagle just pops off the page and looks three dimensional. The oof background adds to the impression. Congrats! Richard

Superb detail in the eagle, Gary.  I like the landscape behind it as well.  A nice choice of when to shoot.

This is an excellent image, Gary!  I can just see this hanging on a wall in canvas or metal maybe.  Those beautiful mountains is a wonderful addition.

Love the varied background, Gary, and I agree that there's almost a 3D effect going on here.  The image appears a bit dark on my screen, but I'm assuming that's due to the largely overcast conditions (based on the scant patches of sunlit scenery behind).

This is just epic! Getting an eagle in flight is one thing, but with this background? Unbelievable! devil
