I did the same thing as you before I learned what works. Crop or resize your image so it is 800 pixels wide at the maximum. Fits perfectly and displays perfectly.

Here are some shots from last summer on a small lake near Traverse
City, Michigan. All were taken with a EOS 30D, with an EF 100-400
f/4.5-5.6 L IS lens (rented from Lens Rentals -- who have given me
great service by the way -- can't recommend them high enough).
Enjoy

Loons adult and immatures -- 400mm, f/7.1, 1/400 sec This image has been photoshopped a bit to tone down the green reflection from the woods along the lake shore.

Immature Bald Eagle 275 mm, f/8, 1/500 sec
Let me know what you think. I've been a serious amateur for a while -- and having a blast.
For Dave Metcalf:
I can't give a technical critique. I just wish that I had taken them!
Looks like you may have used the 100-400mm zoom.

Took this in my backyard yesterday, first nice, bright blue sky in a long while. Glad spring is coming. [H]
Since we're talking eagles here's mine:

Dave, I like the loon and low angle you shot it. Just a few suggestions on the GBH and the ealge, for the GBH the bird's going away and it's also out of focus, for the eagle I think a tighter crop would be nicer. Good luck next time []
Piioo, nice eagle, I would like to see more wing details and the bird coming at you. [] Good luck next time.
Reddish Egrets are not indigenous to Southern California, they are home to the gulf coast states. Last summer we had 3 visiting Bolsa Chica, while the other 2 went to breed, this young bird stayed and has made BC its home for the past year.

I agree w/Sinh's critique, but sometimes you just have to take what the subject gives you.....nice capture of an ABE.
Here's a juvie BE I captured returning to my car, after being out all morning looking for BEs....of course the nice light was gone!
BEs are making a come back in my area but are still relatively rare which is a perfect segue into this photo another rare visitor to my area; juvie Snowy Owl
A more recent photo and not so rare but a tough bird to capture unobstructed and relatively close; N. Flicker

Sinh, Bill,
thanks a lot for your comments. I am a newbe in bird photography, but I'm trying. It's not easy to get eye contact, frontal presentation, without dictracting bacground/foreground, and what I think ismost important - without harassing the birds. I just spotted an osprey platform, let's hope I'll get some nice shots.
Sinh -any advice onphotographing ospreys?
