Bald Eagle in flight

[AndrewPDX]

Hi! I grabbed this shot on San Juan Island, Washington. It really is a majestic animal and I was lucky to get a few shots. This is the only image I could get of it in flight. I really like the composition, but I had such a narrow DoF that the wing tip is out of focus. I'd love to hear your thoughts about that. Deal breaker? Thanks!

Having seen these majestic creatures first hand in the wild. I know exactly what your talking about. they are truely awesome birds. I think the image if cropped some on the bottom to center the bird is all that really needs to be done. I love the full extension of the wing, and I love the how the colors are coming out of the feathers on the wings as well... All in all great shot.

Nice capture especially when you consider how hard it is to get a good shot of them in flight. Maybe a crop would make it better but I like it as is.
