Hi! Please let me know, what lens did you use for this amazing clear photo! I'm just looking for a big lens , and just need ideas. I have a 70-200 2.8 usm, and was thinking about use the 2X converter, but i'm not sure will be the same good than a prime lens.
Please send me an email, what was this lens.Thank You! Attila

Excellent eagle portrait. Nice DOF and sharpness.

WOW.. what a wonderful shot, as Dawn said my Lord.. and the the look in those eyes, perhaps that is the reason for his place in the USA..

Wow! Fantastic shot! You really got great expression and detail here.
He looks like he's saying, "Don't mess with me!"

One of the best close ups I've seen of this gorgeous bird..

Wow! This is a great photo of him/her! I do agree with you though the sadness of him being tethered to a perch like that.
Guest 12-Apr-2007 23:14
Simply superb! One of the best I've seen.
Guest 12-Apr-2007 22:39
Wow, the lighting and expression are wonderful. It's too bad about the tethering, these eagles are spectacular in the wild.

oh my lord, what an awesome shot. But you are right -- it is sad to see them tethered or caged. I love seeing all the animals in a zoo, but it's also disturbing.

This is an incredible shot. I love the lighting. The expression is amazing.

What a beautiful shot! Too bad they have to tether him.
