Really nice shot. What gets me most is the detail on the feathers. Shots like this make me lust for L glass.

Did you use the 70-200? Is it the f4 or f2.8? Hand held?

Thanks for sharing.

Alex, that's a beautiful image. I was on a cruise to Alaska last month, and I was amazed to see bald eagles everywhere (though I wasn't able to get any particularly good pictures of them!)
