Holy smokes! Awesome capture! I love how you can see the tiny bits of grass under its wings. Kinda feel sorry for the bunny, though.

Location
It was taken in Derbyshire, UK.Time
4pmLighting
Natural light here. I think getting this shot later in the day as the sun starts to descend turning more golden, which ironically worked well for this image of a Golden Eagle.Equipment
Handheld Nikon D300 with a 80-200 2.8Inspiration
The moment that Eagle catches its prey is the killer shot, its survival of the fittest showcasing the birds immense hunting capabilities.Editing
Process in Camera Raw, brought up the levels a tad, adding some brightness, saturation, sharpness and contrast.In my camera bag

Be patient, and remember to use the right settings, its no good trying to catch this Eagle in focus if your using a single servo focus which locks when the shutter is pressed. The same applies to your shutter speed, anything under 1/300 is likely to encounter motion blur so keep that in mind (this was shot on 1/1600) another thing to try is a higher frame rate allowing you to take multiple exposures, giving you several to choose from.
