"Gotcha"
By Roeselien Raimond

A picture from Poland, made for a publicity project to promote eco tourism.

I had never photographed flying raptors before so this was quite a challenge. Especially since I had to take the pictures on a small boat without IS ;)

The eagles are so fast and you've just a split second to react.

So my mission was to enjoy the week and to take at least one decent eagle shot. Both missions accomplished.

"Can't beat that expression...the look of success and now it's dinner time. I've photographed eagles hunting and it's amazing to watch, let alone capture in a photo. Nice job!"

"Very nice photo caught at just the right moment. I have seen other photos of birds by this photographer and he seems to have loads of patience and perfect command of his camera. This one's a winner."
