Wings Like Eagles

2008.03.22

My personal favorite of the set. I love the focus, and twinkle in the Eagle's eye.

Check out the Talons on this guy!

=================================================
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31


Happy Easter!

Mat

P.S. These were taken this morning 3/22/08.

sunshineand well done!

coyoteself Those are some excellent and hard to find (At least around here) shots and fresh out of the camera too. Very impressive and another kick in the pants to get out there and take some pictures.

Madoc These are winderful, Mat!
#1 is amazing, but I must admit that my first is the second one too.
I just love the composition with those branches forming an «x».

focussed Gorgeous set Mat........ Im in awe and so jealous about the wildlife you get to see. I personally cant get past #1....mainly because of the portrait format and how close you got to the eagle.
Being a big fan of Napoleon Dynamite, I too appreciate the Talons on #3..hehe (if you havnt seen that movie, please do yourself a favor....knowing your sense of humor Im sure youd have a good laugh at it)
Happy Easter to you also.......Hope all is well and you enjoy the day with your family

ncshutterbug Continuing on the Napolean Dynamite theme: You've got mad photography skillz, dude! :)

Very nice set! I tell you what - you and Heidi come here and see our bluebirds, and I'll come there and see your eagles. Deal?

I saw a hawk in our front yard this afternoon, but by the time I got my camera and put the zoom lens on, it had flown off. :(

TamaraHarden Eagles always look so......not amused. Don't they? Like they have this condesending frown on the human race.
TamaraHarden · 2008-03-23: 01:34
bettyluvsduncan See, when I'm not around you get to go shoot pictures! Thanks for letting me help Sue today. I know it wasn't the best timing.

These shots are great. I'm glad you finally got to take some shots at 'em. ha ha Can't wait to see the rest!
bettyluvsduncan · 2008-03-23: 01:59
Gwadannie Fantastic shots !!!
Gwadannie · 2008-03-23: 04:36
kangshung Very good captures! They are never there when you try to shoot eagles - I find. #1 gets the nod from me - a very regal looking bird.
kangshung · 2008-03-23: 04:41
