Thank you Bruce... I only wish I had a 500mm... This was at 300mm ,,, I appreciate the kind words... :)

Both a great. I like the eagle best. The others are great to but the eagle in my book tops it. Brrrr, I think that was when I just snuggled down in my nice warm bed a little bit further.

Eagle is outstanding, even with all the clutter in the background. Looks like he is thinking "Master of the Universe"

:) Thanks John... The tree line they hang in is pretty dense... I think what really rounds off the eagle shot for me is the dead limb he is perched on and the icicle hanging from it.... He does have that "I am the boss" look to him.... :) Thanks again John...

Like everyone else, I'm impressed with you eagle shot You have an incredibly sharp lens to get such clarity on such a cropping job . Merry Christmas, Robin
