Meet Mr. and Mrs. Eagle.

Mr. Eagle leaves suddenly

He circles around, lands lower in the same tree, and pulls on a twig...

and then brings the twig back to Mrs. Eagle in the nest.

He is rewarded for his efforts with a kiss.

    These are super KDOG. clap.gifclap.gif Your new lens is doing a fine job.

    Now, not that you asked, but I would recommend you take a look at Nik Dfine 2.0 which does selective and automatic de-noising. When you shoot shots like these and then crop them, you tend to get those grainy artifacts like in #3 and #5. Dfine 2.0 does an awesome job with this.

    Howdy Joel,

    These are stunning!!! Pure and simple!!!

    Love the snow and the good clean clear details, and coloration.

    What a wonderful sight that must have been, cold I'll bet,
    but wonderful.
    Take care,

    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!"
