You certainly did a great job on the metering Brian. Fantastic detail in the black feathers. A beautiful shot. It ought to be a postage stamp! #4869302

Thank you Joe, Shelley and Kate. Bald eagles can be a little tricky on exposure with the dark bodies and white heads. Just remember to expose for the most important highlight in the image...and of course an over cast day helps as well ;) #4869332

Double awesome on this and the other eagle images!!! #4871092

Love this eagle portrait, Brian!!!
I recently shot a bald eagle--or shoud I say, "photographed..." I realize how tricky the exposure can be. You did a fine job with this image. Love the bit of snow, too!
