Was driving home this afternoon and saw two eagles in some trees near a farm house and couldn't help stopping and taking a couple of shots with the camera. 70-300 Sigma. Feel free to comment.
Thanks

Wow, real nice. These guys are in their prime. They have that healthy, well fed look. :)

Thanks for the replies. I made the mistake of leaving the camera at 800 ISO from earlier low light shots this morning. I used a little bit of gaussian blur in the background to get rid of the noise and a small amount of sharpening on the eagle and branchs.

Good timing and focus on the inflight.

Suggestion: next time use partial metering and -1/3 exposure compensation. This will enable you not to blow out the white head feathers.

Good job with these, I second what BD said. Love the wing position in the second shot!

Nice shot ! I can't wait to capture one of these. I have been told they follow the geese migration. I will be staking out Desoto Wildlife Refuge next weekend.

These are quite good despite the high ISO, with the second shot being a very good in-flight with a good spread of the wings, well done.
