If you look closely you can see a sliver of silver in the water to the right of this Bald Eagle’s talons. That sliver is the fish the eagle grabbed an instant later. Taken today (Dec. 14, 2007) at Conowingo Dam in Maryland.
There are so many variations of this shot I can try. I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of these guys. I wish I had given this just a touch more DoF, while still fading the focus. The artistic weakness of long lenses is that they flatten the perspective, but I think that worked in my favor here.by emphasizing the density of the flock.
