Fantastic Gary. I think you're right, it's #1, and your latest Eagles have been tough to top.

Great photo.

Edit: P.S. If you could I'd really like to see EXIF data in your images, just help my learning process.

[RandyMays]

I think I would've felt a drop of p.. if in person. Inspiring as always Gary !

Another top notch capture, well done Gary, looks like the talons are taking their toll on that perch. :D

[FlyingPhotog]

Hey Gary, the Feds are on line two. Something about a licensing deal...?

Seriously though, your Eagle series has been nothing but consistantly gorgeous stuff!!

[dlpasco]

Wonderful. "best to date"? Hard to say since you've got so many shots to choose from. After enjoying your posts for the past couple of years, I think this is "one of the best" ;)

(BTW: The boys won all three games this weekend!)

[OUTLAW PHOTO]

Just an awe inspiring shot,the detail is magnificent, almost to the point of 3-D.

[avwh]

I don't know how you train them, Gary, but they sure give you some fantastic poses ;) (and of course, your exposure and composition are spot-on too).

[pttenn]

OMG! Absolutely terrific and every other superlative adjective you can think of! Beautiful! Yep--gotta be your best!

[RonnF]

That is a terrific shot, Gary. Great color, sharpness, exposure and composition.
Is that early morning or late afternoon light that gave you such lack of shadows on your subject?


Ron

Gary,
Some of your "some days are stone" days are better than any of mine.
Some of you guys set a high bar, but this is what we want..something to espire to.
Keep setting the standard...
Great shot.

Fantastic shot!! I've been down to Huntsville, Alabama a couple of times before, I'll have to bring my gear with me next time. Great work!

Don't sell yourself short Gary. You calling an image one of "your best" is big shoes to fill!!! But then again, this is museum quality! Amazing....
