Tioga, the male bald eagle, at the US National Zoo in Washington DC. He was taking a bath.

This photo was taken on March 8, 2008 using a Nikon D300.

I don't understand how you took this nearly perfect photo. 400mm focal length. What sort of flash are you using? I just found the answer in tags SB-800 with a 9ft remote cord or was that a SB-29 ring flash, you did say two flash units.
The eagle has to be at least 20 ft away. Yes/No?
Are you hand holding the camera or on a tripod of some form?
It's a beautiful photo. Thank you for the link to the larger size. I know theft is a problem but you really can't appreciate photos that are smaller than the 1080 pixels or larger. So many people are not allowing the larger views any more.
I'm still learning from your photos. You've come a long way in the past two years. Cheers.
