Majestic Eagle
by Scott Anderson
I was photographing this eagle from a small rocky boat in the rain at Kenai Fjords, Alaska. After snapping a few photos, he took off and landed atop this beautiful rocky outcrop. I was just hoping to keep the eagle in focus while the boat bobbed in the choppy waters. I was very surprised to see the beautiful scenery surrounding the eagle when I viewed the picture back home.
Equipment: 5D Mark II, 100-400mm

It is busy photo for my taste, but the rocky outcrop is amazing indeed. Good spot for the eagle to land

Bald Eagles are some of my favorite subjects and Alaska has always been great for them. Your capture is great and I agree that the background helps the eagle to stand out.

Didnt like it at first glance thought eagle was too small, but after looking a while and reading your story, i understand how well he blends into the bigger picture. A great capture indeed.

You can see a wild eagle in context; what could be better than that?

It is a wonderful image of a wild eagle in its natural environment. I also love how you captured the details of the flora (moss, grass, trees, flowers) and the rocks. I feel I am IN the scene.

Great shot. I love those big birds. Eagles used to hover near our house in Cape Breton Island. You bring back fond memories. Thank you.
