A better photo of the sea-eagle's nest

My last post was about a sea-eagle’s nest in the Fitzgerald River National Park near Hopetoun in south-east Western Australia. I always have trouble deciding which photo to use. I wanted to show something of the surroundings but that meant the nest was a bit hard to discern. However if I used a close-up, readers wouldn’t have a sense of the position of the next in the larger environment. So here is a photo which shows the nest better. These nests can sometimes be four metres tall.
Do you have trouble choosing a photo for a post? I could learnt to do a collage I guess but then both photos would be smaller. I do wish we could post more than one. Putting one in the comments isn’t always the answer so it can disappear too if there are several comments on the one thread.

That's a fantastic one. How far away was it taken from?

I have not used a photo on a few posts recently but yes, I do usually have a photo in mind for a post.

@JudyEv some days I am just rushing and don't bother with a photo but I do think it raises a post up to have one.

@BelleStarr I always like to have one for some reason. I usually put a flower or tree if I don't have something that 'fits'.

I hope they leave it alone permanently and not put any human intervention of any kind. They deserve sanctuary.

I always put a photo but I'm quite happy to read posts without photos so I don't think it makes much difference really. It depends what you're talking about. Sometimes a photo makes a point clearer than just trying to explain it. For instance, this discussion would go nowhere without a photo.

The photo is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I can usually find my photos pretty quick. Either off my computer or bing.com. Thanks again for sharing that awesome picture!

@JudyEv Were are your photos? Like are they on a memory stick? That's where I keep most of mine. Much easier that way.

@Butchcass4 They are on the computer and sorted into categories but it seems occasionally one still goes missing.

This one really shows it well. I do have trouble choosing when I have more than one.

Now you have done it. I will have to go learn more about the sea eagle. This is a new bird to me.

I was surprised that they can be found in so many parts of the world

The picture is outstanding and it gives a bird's eye view.
You have a point that if a picture is posted in comments, it gets lost after multiple comments. I think posting a collage is not a bad idea.
I try to upload image relevant to the discussion, sometimes, these images are taken from internet and sometimes I use mine.

@JudyEv A photograph along with the discussion helps others pay attention towards the post. I agree with you that it is not necessary that if a post is not accompanied by a picture, it will not get responses, some simple posts get many responses.

I would have said that a photo attracts readers but I read discussions from those I'm following and don't always notice whether they have a photo or not so probably it doesn't matter. However a post like this one would be pretty boring without a photo.

That nest is cool and all, but check out that pretty blue water! What a paradise!

@JudyEv As cold as it's been here, I would love to be on that beach soaking up rays of sunshine and watching the sea eagles soar!

It's look like an interesting thing that we never find before...
Isn't it?
