Wow this is an amazing shot! Must have been spectacular to watch. If you're willing to share where was this taken?

Goldens are incredible birds, the power they have and you caught it. Brutal but excellent

Thanks folks. The Fox was bait, and I'm with the legendary Ole-Martin Dahle (famous guide for nature photography in Europe) in Norway.

Bait? Really?

Hmmm, well that takes a little of the shine off of it for me I'm afraid. Still a solid image technically but some of the drama goes out of it knowing it wasn't a "fair fight."
