Hi Flexers,
Yesterday I went to Otter Bay with the D4 and the 80 400 VR zoom but the eagles 
did not appear.

Today I had more luck - they were there - and I arrived as the Stand owner was 
about to feed them.

I cranked up the D4 - with AFC and 10 fps and fired away - using various focus 
patterns to try and
catch the birds.

Here are the best of today starting with:

Wing tip over water - I really like this reflection kind of shot

Flying against a blue water background back to the nest.

Please look large. C&C always welcome.

PS : I would add that processing 16Mp images is much faster on my old I Mac 
computer than 36Mp images from the D800E
but I do miss the vast acreage available for cropping from the 800.
