Something from the morning walk.

Four seconds after the Bald Eagle was pointed out to me it flew away due to the harassment of an Osprey (heard only).

The shrub and trees prevented any other composition and the solid grey smooth sky was horrible and I know it is not an epic photograph, but it is the first eagle I have photographed.

It's still a great photo Dean. Our biggest eagles here in Western Australia are Wedgetail Eagles and Ospreys and in my experience having driven all over this great state, if you go out of the cities the Wedgies are in abundance everywhere. They love the Kangaroo road kill.

I will always remember my first Eagle.
1- it was my first
2- because I never expected to find an Eagle close to Miami.

It's a really nice shot and the branches and everything really give a sense of place. It's always amazing to be able to photograph them.

Actually think the framing works really well on the image, a nice vignette of darker branches works well drawing your eye to the magnificent bird.

Thank you.

I only had a moment to compose and I knew what I wanted (and hoped for). I let nature do the vignetting for me with much closer out-of-focus branches.
