"Luminous, where'd you shoot the photo? Not every day, I'm assuming, one encounters a bald eagle.
Thanks for asking. I shot this in Ketchikan, Alaska--the Salmon capital of the world. I took my mom on an Alaskan cruise for her 68th birthday, and Ketchikan was one of the ports of call. The conditions were every bit as cold, rainy, windy, and unpleasant as they look in the photo, which is one of the reasons I find the image so striking. But I'm biased.
Update: my image is now in 2nd place, 15 votes behind the current leader. Thanks so much to those of you who've voted for my image so far. The contest will continue until November 1st.
