This is the sequal of the earlier picture of the seaeagle,a different kind though..in this picture i kept the natural background ( not the dino's)..managed to get the bird sharp and complete in the picture frame :-)
I did figure out the that the exposure time must be at least 1/650 to get a sharp picture,1/1000 would be better if the light lets you...For Aperture F 8,0 would do the job..
Levels,resized and usm.

Leon, I have mixed feelings about this one; the eagle is sharp indeed, but at 1/640 it would really be bad luck had it been unsharp... On the other hand, f/8 created way too much DoF to my liking, which doesn't make the bird stand out, and in this shot that's a pity. Also, because of the direction the eagle is flying in, I bet the panning motion was not fast enough to create a motion blurred backdrop (which, I may add, is hard to get at 1/640). Motion blur by pan requires a slow shutter speed, a shallow DoF requires a large aperture. 1/640 at f/8, therefore, is not an ideal combination. So that's why I don't understand your use of 800 ISO in this obvious sunlight... shooting this at 200 ISO could have reduced the speed to 1/160 or f/8 to F/4, or another suitable combination...
Btw, Canon has a nice AF-function called AI-Servo: if you select "all" AF-points and use this mode, the camera will anticipate the motion of the subject and focus accordingly. It is designed for subjects like this...
