Watching these huge birds hunt was amazing. They made it look so easy. Unlike the crash and splash of the Osprey, these birds would gently swoop down drag their talons along the surface of the water and pull out a 10" Coho Salmon. It seemed effortless. I am sorry for the quality of the image but the lack of light and distance of the bird took alot of the crispness of the image away. This is an extremely cropped image so the more it is blown up the more it blows out. Oh well?

Doesn't look like those fish have a chance. Enjoyed seeing this.

Even with heavy cropping, this is still an amazing capture, I have yet to get one of a eagle sitting still let alone one like this. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Stunning looking photo of a bold eagle doing what it does best and lovely sharp detail too.The light and focus is especially lovely were the bird took the fish out of the lake,with the droplets of water frozen.

I think the details are amazing considering the action, and circumstances. Seems you were perfectly placed to get it all in. A pleasure to see! Look at all the water spray.
