I don't know why but this reminds me of one of the Sinbad films.
It could mean I'm an idiot but there you go.
Great photo here, it must have took ages to get this shot.

Thank you, I spent a good 45 minutes photographing this amazing bird

Wow.
Jesus-tap-dancing-christ-on-a-unicycle that's a long time.
Judging from this photo it was worth it.
Keep up the good work.

This is a nice Eagle series.
Perhaps the single best point that I notice is the relatively low angle of the shots.
I understand the how and the effort required but that angle sets these apart from the far more common shots from underneath or from well above.
Good job.

Stunning Shot!
Just wondering, how much editing did you do to this shot if any? If if so what did you do?
Thanks, best wishes

Thank you, I shoot in raw and usually do level adjustments and apply some sharpening. I was lucky to get proper exposure from the camera and only had to apply minor adjustments.

WOW such a powerful shot! The wings spread in victory, the gigantic talons.. Well worth lying about in the cold snow I guess!

Incredible shot. Although the power and magnificence of the bird is obvious, I must say there's some kind of graceful beauty in the fish too, even if it's dead.
