Morning Song

I did take this shot at 9 o'clock yeasterday morning.Sun just peaked over the mountains at

Katchemak Bay in Alaska. Thanks for viewing. Best regards, Harry

I managed to get a few eagle shots myself when I was in Alaska. It certainly is the place to photograph them. I do like the composition of this one but wish I could see more detail in the birds feathers.

Very interesting pose you've captured here. Nice to see something new in an eagle photo. The morning sky made a very nice background for you.

Thanks David and Leroy.

@David: The only way to get more detail in the feathers of the eagle this time in the morning, while it still is quite dark outside, is by using flash like so many other photographers do when shooting eagles, or lighting up the eagle, but I personally refuse to use flash in wildlife. In this case I like it the way it is because the darker feathers do stand out nicely against the lighter background. Best regards, Harry

beutiful photo Harry. The decison not use fill flash was good, it wouldnt fit the 'mood'.

A really beautiful shot, Harry! Hartelijke groeten, Ruud.

very dramatic shot, Harry. I like the composition as well.

Very nice work. I would suggest working on the halo around the bird and branch, to minimize or totally remove it. Composition is superb and the capture is excellent - thanks for posting.

La composicion fantastica ,me gusto mucho su foto , saludos 7/7

The eagle as a songbird, now there's a new concept. Great image, have never seen one like this.
