Steve Biro has been taking pictures of birds for over 10 years, but it was one day at the Ontario’s Canadian Raptor Conservancy, that he probably took the best photo of his life.
He was taking pictures of a majestic creature named Bruce, he was a massive bald eagle. Biro says that Bruce was awesome and well-behaved. But at one point he didn’t seem to like where Biro was perched.
Bruce started to swoop in the direction of Biro and that’s when he was able to capture the amazing photo, but he didn’t know it yet. He was still in the moment of taking it.
Everyone was shocked and amazed when Bruce flew straight overhead above Biro, who felt the breeze from the eagle’s wings as he passed by. Bruce may have been trying to brush him away.
Biro must have taken hundreds of photos of Bruce, but as he was looking through them he found one that stood out from the rest. A photo any photographer would be jealous of.
The photo was of Bruce flying above the water, the tips of his wings touching the surface. It was a perfectly symmetrical image, from wing to wing, and Bruce’s reflection in the water.
It was the type of photo every birdwatcher or even photographer dreams of taking. The more you stare at the photo the more mesmerizing it becomes.
