That's the thing about being on here. you see amazing shots like this and then you start stressing out trying to figure out why you cant do that. LOL

Quite outstanding series! I like the the eagle is so confident they it doesn't even look down when it it grabbing the fish. Color me impressed on these shots. Kudos.

Ok, im back. Thank you all for the support and comments.

I did notice the eagle didn't even look down in the photo with both the talons in the water, maybe it does it more by feel or maybe already had the fish. I missed the shots before it. I did have a couple more but the background was even worse.

I feel I have put my time in here, usually full 8 hour days at this location. obviously I would shoot herons and egrets and hope for eagle activity. I have been maybe 15-20 times and really enjoy going. Now that I have seen this eagle do a similar thing on 2 separate times in the mid morning hour, maybe next time I will try to set myself for a better background.

And I have been shooting less, and I guess just putting in a full day on the weekend allowed for some good opportunity. still have a lot of egret and heron fishing photos to post
