Hi dear friends :)
finally I'm back after a bad and ugly flu. Feels so good to post again :) Many thanks for all the notes to my previous posting. I will visit you all in the following days.

So, after you have seen the first eagle, here is the second one - this time a juvenile Bald Eagle - a large bird, with a body length of 71–96 centimeters, a wingspan of 168–244 centimeters , and a mass of 3–6.3 kilograms; females are about 25 percent larger than males. The adult Bald Eagle has a brown body with a white head and tail, and bright yellow irises, taloned feet, and a hooked beak; juveniles are completely brown except for the yellow feet. Males and females are identical in plumage coloration.

More about the Bald Eagle you can find in here.

Another version for the same eagle you can find in here.

Best wishes,
Ioana

Hi,

Beautiful shot,
I have always loved the eagles eyes, they show a threating look which simply attracts admiration.

You have captured it very well. Nice job ;)

Hello Ioana.
Sorry to hear you had a bad flu. Hope you feel better by now.
So, maybe i didn't missed many pictures of you when i was in Malaysia.
Beautiful close up of this Eagle.
Coincidently, I captured some wild Eagles in the mangroves at Langkawi, and also having pictures with an eagle on my arm, without any rope, free to go, but he was tam.
(will show that lateron).
Best wishes from Jan

incredibil ce impresie de forta si hotarare iti transmite.
nu-i de mirare ca unii si-au ales-o drept simbol national.

ca de obicei foarte bune claritatea, incadrarea si dofu'

bine ai revenit.
sorin

Bine ai revenit, Ioana!

Imi pare rau ca motivul lipsei tale in ultima vreme a fost o gripa, sper ca te-ai refacut complet.
Foarte frumos portret al vulturului, excelenta claritate si culori.
O seara frumoasa,

hello Ioana

Really impressive sharpness and DOF for this macro. Although aggressive bird (it is the US presidient's sign at White House), it is a powerful symbol of strength and agility.

Another wonderful photo of the bald eagle. You captured it is all its glory! Well done

Wia

Hi Ioana,
Glad to hear you're feeling much better, I had the flu a couple of weeks ago and it's not a nice thing to have! This picture is fantastic, so strong with emotion expressed in the eagle's stare. It is very well composed with excellent sharpness. I did a small workshop just to make the eagle stand out slightly more, I hope it's ok with you.
