Soaring High...On the Wings of an Eagle

Another shot taken this afternoon...this one isn't very clear but I think it is the quintessential Bald Eagle shot. I am a happy camper....I don't get to see these majestic birds often and I feel like it's something special when I do.

As an afterthought I decided to tag this for the hope theme this week. The beauty that Mother Nature provides, including these magnificent birds can lift the spirt, feed the soul and brighten an otherwise dismal day, thus giving hope...to me anyway!
Awesome!

Agree with Kari...I like the way he fills the screen, corner to corner. Nice capture.
January 25th, 2011  
awesome shot, just watch out for the processing of the image, i can see a glow around the wings and the head of the eagle, try to blend it in with the rest of the sky, otherwise, great shot!
