I just used a standard 18-105mm -- no money for a telephoto!

well the one behind the lens used it well, thanks for the reply. I am currently lusting/saving for the 70-200, but i know it will be awhile.

OOohhh nice! I hope your saving goes better than mine did. After two years I could finally afford the 55-200mm, but only because it went on sale from $350 down to $180

Yours was a species I've never seen though (and I'm a "birder)! So there is a touch of jealousy.

I've not seen a baldy in person, so I'm jealous of you, too. ^___^

This is an amazing shot! You have captured a truly beautiful moment. I also really like the composition of the photograph. Great job! 
May I ask how you managed to get that close to the eagle?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Slowly! I saw it from way down the beach and walked a few steps at a time, crouched, stopping every few steps to straighten up and take a photo. The eagle kept an eye on me, and I stopped when I felt I was as close as it would permit, and waited. It didn't seem to mind.

You have done quite some work. I can truly say though, that for that photo, it was worth it.

Oh wow, that is an INCREDIBLE shot! You must have felt like a million dollars! It's probably just once in our lives that we get treated to such an opportunity, don't you think?

It's a great image!
LOL!My strange sense of humour couldn't resist giving it a mental byline....
"It was at precisely this moment that the eagle discovered it's talons were stuck in the branch....."
