Working a job on the Olympic Peninsula in WA and got a day off to hike & shoot a little. All I wanted was to get a shot of a bald eagle.

Great shots!

Very nice; #1 looks like it might be a trifle over-sharpened, but #2 is a wonderful action shot. Well captured!

Second one seem a bit flat.

Put a slight S into the curve, brought the white point down to 236 and increased the saturation to 21.

Great shots, and nice edit Sparky.

What lens were these shot with? I'm guessing the 70-300 in your signature? You must have been fairly close to get such clear shots even at 300mm!

Thanks everyone! Yeah it shot with the 70-300L at 300mm well over 100 yards. Miserable, dark overcast day. To shoot at 1250 & f8 I think I was somewhere around ISO 640.

The bummer is that it's been cropped from 18mp down to about 4mp. But I think the detail and noise will still give me a good 8x10 print.

That lens is something else. I get sharper, more useable images at 300 than I did from 300-400 with the 100-400L I was using.
