I’ve been on a trip over the weekend to Reelfoot Lake, a cypress swamp in northwest Tennessee. Went on a ranger-led tour. Saw a few bald eagles and ospreys. This eagle was perched on a stump in the water and then took off down the lake.

Excellent, Allen. A very nice series.

Great series - I like every shot.
Fine detail and perfect BG

That bald eagle perched on the stump in the lake really catches the eye. There’s something majestic about the way it stands, almost regal against the rippling water background. The details in the feathers are captured with precision, giving the eagle a lifelike texture that draws you in. By the way, all the images you submitted are amazing, Allen.

These images convey a sense of solitude and strength, symbolizing the eagle’s powerful presence in the wild. The surrounding water adds an element of serenity, enhancing the overall mood of the photograph.
