Some keepers from last week's trip to a Wisconsin lake cabin. The owner said he'd seen the eagle's nest, and I was so hoping to get some ok shots. I'm so psyched to have gotten this one (from a canoe, even). Can't wait to frame it:

    That eagle image is fantastic! I usually like a more leveled shot, but looking upward at the eagle with that pretty surrounding habitat really makes for a good image. The silhouette is nice too, but that eagle is wow!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thank you all. The eagle shot made the 100-400 rental completely worth it.

    I agree with the others. All nice captures, but that eagle shot is just super

    image 1 - is simply bowdown.gif

    image 2 - I like it a lot. Tranquil and welcoming.

    image 3 - to me, conveys a lonely, wilderness feeling. I like that one, too.
