Photographer : Tim Roos

Photo taken : April 13 on Vashon Island

Photographer’s description : “I had the fortune of observing this pair of eagles on a piling off Vashon Island. They stayed on the piling over 45 minutes. At one point, they made a turn to people-watching. I used a 500mm Nikon lens at f/5.6, 1600 shutter speed, with a Nikon D850 camera body.”

Critique : “This scene put a smile on my face. This curious duo almost appears to be sharing witty banter. The lighthearted moment made an amusing image. Good eye and lovely job.”
