[quote=Indi][quote=traveler90712]Fantastic Shot! :thumbup: I'd love to get on like that, but there aren't no Eagles around here.
No, but we do have Ospreys. Maybe we could paint their heads white?
Years ago I heard a story that birdwatchers in the SF Bay area started reporting the sightings of a new species of red-headed seagulls. Turns out guys painting the Golden Gate Bridge were amusing thmselves by trapping gulls and then painting their heads with the bridge paint before releasing them. Hilarious, except I don't know how the birds liked it.

Great advice and discussion. The eagle shot is stunning! Yes, "once in a lifetime shot."
I got a lucky shot by being prepared one morning in my kayak. Camera strapped to the deck and turned on, lens cap off, set to fast shooting and already checked exposure possibilities. A Heron appeared before me and then realized I was right where he was going to land and pulled up to avoid me and all I had time for was three rapid fire "hip-shots" without time to look through the viewfinder. Two were total misses and the third was a keeper. Sometimes luck is the residue of design.

RJ, did you lighten the exposure a little? I'm torn with deciding on the right contrast balance.

Thanks all for some great suggestions...and a couple of good chuckles, too.
Thanks to jonsund, I'm leaning to Prelude...I'm prone to one word titles when possible.

My thought was Fire & Water. A little hidden, but everything else seemed cliche. Any ideas?
