How on earth, did you catch this beautiful moment. Magnifique!!!

Thank you, herminiadosal! I agree, it is a beautiful moment. My involvement was to spend considerable time watching a bald eagle pair in their nesting activities over three months. In this particular photo, I pre set my camera for capturing action and watched as the eagles came an went. For this photo, I took a series of images as the eagle flew past the shadowed cliffs of Smith Rock State Park. If that was a rhetorical question, well just thanks.

Great planning and it paid off, excellent image!
