dallas

My first choice





And my second choice

Awais Yaqub

Well nothing gona come close to him daring wow i love both of them
1st one looks like he is challenging others

Harryb

Way cool Dallas. Two more fine shots. I would try to bring out some shadow detail in that second shot.

Osprey Whisperer

Another set of winners. Way to shoot 'em, Dallas. Well done.

No eagles today. Had to do some shopping. I did get some chickens though. Well..the breasts anyway. .99/lb. Stocked up with about 35 breasts. 'bout a pound each. They were Dolly Pardon sized. I guess you could say I like my breasts. :uhoh :

DanielB

that 1st one is stunning Dallas

I love the feathers in #1. But, my favorite is still the fight shot with the dirt flying in the other post. Please say you sent it to KPOTD.

clap

Thank you Awais, they do look daring don't they? I wouldn't like them after me.

dallas

I agree Harry, but I'm not skillful enough to do that without messing up the other colors. I promise to learn though. Thanks for the passing grade.

dallas

Thanks Daniel, I agree. The first was always my choice, mainly because I didn't have to do anything to it right out of the camera. Maybe I'm beginning to learn how to use my D70s.

dallas

The fight was fascinating, and I would send it to KPOTD if I knew what that means. Can you please explain for me? Thanks very much.

I can't wait until you find some real Eagles Mike. Chickens? Couldn't you do Turkey, Duck, Foie Gras..........but, chicken? Well at least they are breast. Thanks for the good words.:):

BIG BROTHER

Hey, Ltl Bro it is hard to pick a "best" so I will just say these are realllllly good - the Fighting Eagles have to be in a category all by themselves! I am working on posting a couple - soon. See ya Jambe.

Rohirrim

I can see why those are your favorites William. Great captures, I also really like that second one.

dallas

Thank you brother Jim, maybe the Fighting Eagles are better, at least more going on. Looking forward to see you join the Eggret Fest. Jambe back to you

dallas

Thank you Steve, I appreciate your good comments. I'm going to take Harry's advice and try to bring out more detail on the wings of the second one, and hope to improve the photo. It'll be a good PS learning experience

Don't know if anyone has. Stands for Kodak Photo Of THe Day. Go to kodak.com, and you can find it. Goes up on Times square, people can tell you. Big deal. Andy has a bunch, I have one and it took me forever.

I am not sure they want a screaming eagle shot, but they might. They are kind of sentimental. Heavens I don't know what they want.

But wanted to weigh in on those shots! I can see why they are your favorites! The action of the "fight". Did I win the wager with my bet on the one with the yellow beak?

Anyway, I would call them more Photojournalism and these more personality portraits or something great.

Wonderful shots you have there.

ginger

Now, I expect to see these shots in the summer, too. OUr places are closed today or I would try to find the answers, too.

I cannot believe they are just all covered by folliage in the summer.

Thank you Ginger for the information, I will go to the web site to see what's going on. Yes you win the bet, and thanks again for the kind words.

Thanks Motokat, I love sharing them.

zoomer

Sweet shots!
That first one kicks *&^!!
If he had just been looking a tad your way it would be even better.
But great as is.
So sharp and the color is spot on.

dallas

Thanks Zoomer, yes a little more look my way would have been better, but as you know we takes what we gets, and I like the pose he gave me. Another reason I liked this is because I posted it almost out of the camera. If I remember, just a tiny bit of sharpening, more out of habit than anything else.. The less PP, tells me I getting better at this each day, at least I hope so.
