The Plain near Ramona, California

I was trying to get a shot of a Golden Eagle sitting on a Rock between the middle and the right tree.
The Eagle looks like speck on a rock in front of the trees
When I zoomed out I realized I had my Plain Shot.
I did not get a good shot of the Eagle, as even 400mm with a 1.5 crop was not long enough.


The image above was taken for the Weekly Informal Challenge (Week 43): "Plain"

Beautiful scenery. Lots of depth.

It's a plain! Seriously, I like how the rocks in the foreground work with the trees in the background to make the composition and to enhance the perspective.

That looks like Texas...you sure you weren't here? Well, the mountains give it away that it isn't but the rest looks like here. :)
