This male Golden Eagle sits at over 1000m to overlook his kingdom. Taken on a cold morning on a small plateau high in the mountains. I liked the colour cast as it seems to show the conditions well.

That is superb Mark, the feather detail really stands out too. Looks to me like that 200-500 is a keeper !
 
Thanks folks, i loved this as soon as i saw it. I have stupidly close detail shots with the d4s and D850 both with the 200-500 which i did a lot of testing with to get the best out of it and yeah its a keeper for long haul trips into the mountain. This was around 1100m up and only meters from a cliff edge where the bird could soar on the thermals...
 
Fantastic picture!! Love it
