Before anyone shouts Photoshop, I'm glad to tell this is just an optical illusion. All mods are about clearing few specs away + tone tweaking + sharpening in Lightroom. It's just your mind making the tricks ;-)

He finally gave up and dropped the fish after a full four minutes. As soon as he let the fish go, a Bald Eagle came in from across the lake in a flash but by that time the fish had escaped. Santa Margareta Lake, CA

It was quite the struggle with lots of splashing water and flapping wings. Morro Bay, CA

Its Eagle season along the Fox River in Illinois. On the morning these three shots were taken we were blessed with -5 F temperatures. Most of the river was frozen, leaving a small space for eagles and other predators to find food. We counted 13-15 eagles in a roughly 2 mile stretch of river. Captured my first ever fish catch as well. It could be sharper but at 400 yards away, I'll take it. Kudos to those wildlife photographers who nab the ultra sharp shots!

The night's fish catch laid out to dry in front of the temple at Niaoyu.

Unfortunately the sea eagle came from the opposite direction, so I missed getting the front on shot of it taking off with the fish. It was so hot sitting out on the rocks waiting!!!!! Taken at the Fitzroy River, Western Australia.
