Just tried to salvage this shot with Photoshop. Eagle was between me and the sun and the lighting conditions were terrible with the shadowed side of the eagle facing me.

1/1600s f/8.0 at 340.0mm iso400, TC-17E-II full exif

Nice job Chris. Sometimes you just have to make the best of what you have.

The light does not prevent the eagle from being front and center and a great capture.
