Beautyful nature scene with the big boy Debra. Terrific curved wingspan that make it realy standout. The bunches of small branches with a little hoar frost make it for a nice compo. Well done.

Thanks Yves, yes the curve of wings is what I liked about this photo. The eagle was banking left and going down when I hit the shutter button.

Nice action shot against a difficult sky background. Great work!!

Thanks very much Jane. I did heave a lot of trouble with the white balance due to the grey sky, white snow and trees.

Description
The eagle decided to put a bit of distance between himself and me. I was lucky enough to get this shot of the eagle landing further back.
