I have taken many eagle images the past two seasons and with each trip I feel I get better technically and artistically as a photographer. Everything matters...weather conditions, camera, lens, shutter-speed, f-stop, ISO, focus, pose, angles, anticipation, etc. When everything goes just right as you push the shutter button, you know it.

I really like this image. It represents nature, our planet, its beauty, and hope for its future. The sun had almost set giving that last bit of light for the day. The magnificent bald eagle soaring to find his evening perch. The very important tree in the background that provides the safe habitat needed to protect and house so many wildlife species...
