That's really a nice shot, Michael. Typically all of the branches etc. in shots like this look very cluttered. But not the case here. As a matter of fact it has the interesting effect of muting the bright sky. Well done.
Dang, that's sharp! Beautiful shot. Amazing IQ with a 70-200 and 2x tc! Clearly a new world order with the Z lenses and TCs!

Nice shot. Was that a recent photo? I have been waiting months to get out into the Skagit and Whatcom counties to catch the eagles feeding on the salmon, but health issues may cause me to have to sit out much, if not all, of the season. Quite frustrating, but nice to see your shot.

Ken,
Appreciate the comment, it is a recent photo. Took it last week on Camaro Island. Truth be told I was driving down the road and this Eagle was walking in a parking lot of a veterinary clinic. When I stopped he perched in this tree for about 30 minutes. He was putting on a great show. Bummer you can't get to Skagit. I went last year on a drift boat was a fantastic experience.

I hope to do a drift boat one year, but that is probably something that will be added to my list when I retire in a few years, as I always seem to be jammed up at work in the winter. I am hoping that I may be able to get up to the Skagit, but right now I cannot plan anything definitive. Regarding your eagle, perhaps he was waiting for some small dog who was leaving the vet? Eagles are somewhat known for being opportunistic.

Beautiful shot Michael. Love the detail.
What a great image! Those that say the z2x isn’t sharp, look again! I love this lens with that teleconverter and this is a fabulous example of how good it really is.
