I was wondering if this was in a captive environment -- to get a shot like that in less than a week in the wild would be incredibly difficult. :)
Even so, it's still a difficult capture and I only play with 400mm. Can't imagine trying with a 600. Beautifully done!
(Was without a computer for a week, so my congrats are a bit belated.) |

| Thanks for telling us how you got this because I was very curious how you got an image of a Bald Eagle in France. Great great image Christophe. Once again proving your overall excelence as a Photographer. |

Thanks a lot! It's no news: I like to process my shots extensively, and this one is no exception. Colors were all tweaked to maximize visual impact. |

I won't be renewing my membership this year.
Seems very little point now.
It is a little unfair to parade your skills so shamelessly and subtly inform us that we are perhaps best suited to another hobby.
:-)
Of course this is superb !
If I'm honest, I'm not a fan of the heavily manipulated images but there is no doubting your talent,
Well done, again.... Grrrr

LOL welcome to the crazy world of bird and wildlife photography!! See how much fun it is with an environment and subject over which you usually have minimal, if any control? :-0
I guessed right off that this was a zoo or raptor park shot. The colour of the water, looks like jesses were cloned out and the eagle's got a chunk of raw meat in its talons, not fish. Facilities like that don't generally feed live prey, as it upsets people to see a living animal destroyed before them. But tossing meat that the bird is accustomed to, into water, gives the bird exercise and a chance to remember that it's supposed to get its food from water, not a handler wearing welding gloves.
Still, a very good shot and I can't tell you the number of times I've got a shot that would otherwise be perfect except for missed focus. Great work! |

Hmmmm...the last wings were too long (well at least one of them), and these wings are cropped rather rudely too short. Gosh....will the third set of wings be just right?! Like Goldilocks, I have faith...;-)

Striking image, fabulous light, color, clarity. It would have been great to seen the full wing span here, but still a 10 for me.

Explosive. Magical. Wonderful focus and action. I would say this is doing rather well despite the lack of fish :) or only parts of it :) Bumped to 8.
Is this completely wild or baited site? One shot or part of a series? I look forward to roll-over to read all the tog and voter comments. VWD. |
