      ;-) yep.. wish I could say it was all skill, but in reality it was pure luck in timing, split second earlier or later and it would have been different

      Thanks Charles, yes the timing...but I have to admit that this was split second..and I would be lying if I had planned it...I was waiting for the eagle to take off and took a series of shots as he did. This just happened to come out .. (sorry for the pun...)
