This bald eagle stood in the perfect light. The background in shade, his head illuminated by the sun through some branches. I was thinking „that‘s my chance for an epic low key shot“. So I dialed in my settings, lowered the exposure compensation to - 1,7 and hit the shutter. I couldn’t believe that I have just captured such an amazing bird of prey on my very first days in Canada BC. By the way, have you spotted the leftovers of his last meal on his beak?
