eagle action

    I am so mad at myself for cutting off the tips of his wing! this was an almost full frame shot (I had to trim the bottom of the photo as there was the head of another eagle in it, which was very distracting)

      Not sharp? I think this looks tack sharp! It would have been nice to have the wing tips in the shot, but it's really such a minor, nit-picky detail. Really, this is a very excellent shot of the eagle.

      Terri, don't beat your self up. This is an awesome capture. I especially like the position of the talons. There are majestic birds. Thanks for sharing this one with us.

      I agree with stevent457, don't beat yourself up. This is a magnificent action capture of a bald eagle.

      So hard to predict exactly where they will be in the sky. I think it is a beautiful shot; wonderfully frozen action; crisp detail. I'd be delighted to have taken it.

      Great eagle action shot, Terri!

      I know what you mean about feeling angry not getting it all in the frame, but damn, that's hard when it's that close and they're moving so fast.

      Gorgeous! The eye will likely focus on the eye and claw, I think one can live with a little flaw about the clipped wing. Nothing is perfect, and this picture is almost there, so that is perfect.

      Awesome action shot! I wouldn't worry about cutting off the wings, it actually adds to the sense of movement and the focus is dead on. Great job!
