Superb bald eagle photo
Photo in article.

“An amateur photographer has captured an incredible image of a bald eagle staring straight into the camera with a perfectly symmetrical reflection in the water below.
……
Steve shot the photos on his Canon 5D Mark IV and a Canon 100M L macro lens. The symmetrical shot was captured at f/7.1, 1/2000s and ISO 2500…”

I've made all (or most, at times) of my living with a camera for decades, and I'd be very satisfied to have that image in my portfolio.
Outstanding.

Amazing the control they have in flight. Wing tips just skimming the water.

If the shooter was in line with the camera for that shot.....I’d be pooping my pants if I were him.


Who knows maybe he is going for a fish, maybe a small mammal or maybe he’s photoshy and coming for ME!!

That is a helluva picture. 1 in a million.

That's an amazing shot. I'm fortunate to live on a lake that is frequently visited by bald eagles. Very majestic creatures for sure.

That is an outstanding photograph. The kind of shot many professional photographers dream of capturing.

If you have not yet filed for copywrite protection, you should consider doing so. Easy to do on-line and costs very little.

Congratulations and thank you for posting.

What an amazing shot! Thanks for sharing.
Maybe Canon would like to use your photo...might be worth trying to contact the Canon Rep in your area.

You are aware that the OP isn't the photographer, right?

That’s a very nice photo. I wonder how much of the original that was cropped from? A 100mm lens isn’t going to reach out all that far and he had to be far enough away otherwise ole baldy there was literally right on top of him.

It's amazing the shots you can get when you duct tape a fish to your forehead.
