Focus!
There isn't much in nature that is more intently focused than a predator on its prey. In fact many raptors lose their life because they are so concentrated in the moment and can tend to be oblivious to potential threats. This Bald Eagle didn't need to worry about any threats but I tried to capture the intensity and the power of the quest for prey in this shot.

That picture embodies the same type of focus I have when it comes for me to tend to business matters! Spectacular! Wow!

Thanks everyone.
Thanks Kai. Sorry for the late reply. It's the 500mm f4 IS L. A great lens although the 600mm is coming out and weighs approximately the same as my 500mm so I need to do some thinking. I did - thanks.
