Regal

This was the first shot with my new, Z7 II coupled to my also, new, Sigma 60-600 + 1.4 Extender. This guy was well over 250 ft away and 75 feet up which, even with all the glass, was a bit of a stretch.

A very good shot of a fantastic bird....

This is one of the best eagle portraits I've ever seen. Terrific posture, textures, and a wonderful sky in the background.

Your new glass did you proud on this one. Excellent work!

Fantastic shot, given the parameters! Nice composition, and yes, very regal indeed!

Stretch or not, that's a nice shot. I never found a 1.4 that would retain decent quality when I had the Tamron 60-600. Presumably the extender is Sigma also?

My brother just sent me a photo from St. Pete of a bald eagle flying over his backyard. Called it "Patriotic". Tend to agree.

Nicely done. Great composition.

Really nice shot.

Yes...and it is pretty much okay though I find it limiting as I can only get f/9 at 600mm

Perfect pose!

Almost looks composite it's so nice.

I came back for another look. Nominated for POTM!
