    Yowza. The compositions are the best I've seen.

    Thanks for sharing the link. Now I want to go to Alaska.

    Some nice shots. Some of them look a bit odd...and almost photoshopped. Not saying they were....but some strange DOF and bokeh going on in a few. They did well on the exposures considering the snow , white headed bird and dark body.

    I don't know about "the best" eagle shots ..pffff I've seen some pretty good ones. Our very own DALLAS (William) had himself a heck of a shoot with some eagles while here in Florida. I get the feeling you missed his posts....as his work was excellent.

    Speaking of Willy...where has he been? Anyone hear from him or see him lately. Hey William...you o.k.? Hope Ben didn't give you the pineapple plague.


    Thanks for sharing. If you like eagles....check out fredmiranda.com forum. There is a guy over there that does a nice job of shooting eagles. I forget his usere name..but he's from Illinois.

    The "Bald Eagles of Alaska" gallery looked processed to the point of looking more like illustrations than photos. Still very nice though.

    I agree with both you and Bear. Notice I specifically said "compositions". The exposures to me look odd as well. Almost desaturated or something in some cases. I agree that William and Harry (and you for that matter) seem to get better exposures.
