Stunning capture and details Regis. 
I thank you very much, Sylvia. I believe you said that Bald Eagles do not exist in England?

Almost looks like you could reach out and touch him, Regis!!!
It would be a long 92 yard reach, but thank you for your comment, Sendpyper.

That is true Regis, we have the white tailed(fish eagle) in Scotland which is on the endangered list!

Your pictures are always gorgeous but this one has got to be one of the best. Background, frame and bird. Amazing.

Excellent shot especially with the note that it was hand held at 600 mm. How on earth do you stand and do that. I am a big guy with 36" sleeves and no matter how hard I try I can't hand hold that well? Are you braced against a tree or some such thing? that is amazing. What is your method? I have a woman friend who is a good nature photographer and her secret is three things I am not: 1. she is incredibly patient 2. she has short, very stout arms and large breasts which all form a terrific triangle of sorts to make her hold the best and most stable I've personally seen.
I'm a tall guy with long arms and to get that kind of shot with a 600 mm on my nikon d4 I had to use a tripod and release.
I am really congratulating you on how well that was done. Now...teach the rest of us your hold, please!

Considering the distance, this Bald Eagle shot showed some detail thanks to a razor-sharp lens and a 50mp camera.
Canon 5Dsr - Canon 300 2.8 II - Canon 2x III - 1/320 - f/5.6 - ISO @ 640.
