Your timing is great. I wonder if you were in continuous mode or in single shot.

Very nice shot and crystal clear. The white backdrop has given a very nice effect.

This picture has to be one of the best pictures of an eagle that I have ever seen. We get the full extension of the wing with detailed definition, the strength in the legs, the hooks of the talons! The piercing intensity as the eye targets the prey. Even the precision of the hook in his beak and extension of his tail feathers! This is a beautiful impacting image full of motion and I thank you for it. I am a shamanic practitioner and have been looking for such detail for years and not found it. Great job, well done and a thanks a millionfold!
