No this is not a composite. The eagles fly through here every spring at about this time. Lucky me just happened to be outside at the right time with enough wits about her to then go inside and get her camera!! Totally lucked out with this guy circling in the vicinity of the moon. I really should've used a better fstop than what I did then maybe I wouldn't have gotten so much noise. However, I'm still very pleased with this shot.
Just tell me what you think. I'm a big girl.... I won't cry for long. ;-)

Its a nice image and I guess you have the benefit of knowing it is likely to occur again so you can ve better prepared! Love the sickle moon in this =D)

A beautiful sight and a beautiful capture. There's something almost magical about the two side-by-side in this scene. Bravo!

Amazing capture, Amy! You saw the very moment. Sorry I wasn't around much. I'm going deep into your archives now. :)

its a beautifully composed shot ... !!! ... and unless the fotografer has the "eyes" to see, "being at the right place at the right moment" is of no use ... :) ...
