Rick & Deb Larson replied
Hi Angie, (how are you doing??) We just got back from Homer on another Eagle viewing/photography jaunt I got within three feet of this one, he just sat on his perch and kept looking at me like I was a ‘NUTTY Lady’ but he didn’t seem to mind me constantly sticking my camera in his face :
)I don’t think we will be headed down there again this winter :( but there’s always the ones that we encounter on the river during the summer months. THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND KIND COMMENT!! Take Care :-)naturelover

velveteagle
Just love your work.. I use a Maxxum 7D. Saving up for an A900 ..
Chuck…
Rick & Deb Larson replied
Hi Chuck, THANK YOU!! I loved my 7D when I had it, but I have to say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the A900, you won’t regret the purchase. When you get your A900 the Sony 2.8/70-200 G is a must have lens (I just love mine), it’s fast and sharp!! Thanks Again, Take Care :-)

A wonderful capture Deb. He looks so intent. Great clarity in the details of the feathers….
Rick & Deb Larson replied
Hi Rosemaree, THANKS!! He sat perched there for the longest time while I took picture after picture of him…I kept asking him to open his beak a little, but he wasn’t in to complying with my wishes….guess he figured that I should be satisfied that he stuck around so long, LOL. Take Care :-)
skyhorse

Hi Skyhorse, THANK YOU!! Take Care :-)
Renee Dawson
He does look deep in thought. He’s so beautiful!
Rick & Deb Larson replied
THANKS Renee!! He just sat perched there for me while I stood about 3 feet away from him, (I think he was probably wondering when that crazy broad was going to disappear so he could relax and maybe catch some zzz’s…..poor guy!). Take Care :-)
pryere
Astonishing, bravo.

Beve Brown-Clark
Wonderful perspective!! Great color…O silly me thats, that Minolta-Sony color for you…:^)

Good golly, when I don’t think you can possibly outdo a photograph, you produce something like this. Phenomenal!
Rick & Deb Larson replied
WOW Clark, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT HIGH PRAISE!! I had so much fun with this guy, he sat perched here for over an hour (I can just imagine what was running through his head about the crazy broad with that weird tool in her hands, LOL). Take Care :-)
Gail Bridger
You have astonished me, my friend! You should be making tons of money with these!
Rick & Deb Larson replied
Hi Gail, (we wish). THANK YOU!! At this point just knowing that others are enjoying our photos is worth a lot to us, we are glad that we have found a great outlet to share what we experience and enjoy from day to day with others (but a sale from time to time wouldn’t hurt, LOL). Take Care :-)
