This is a beauty Ron. I do wish the head did not blend in with the wing, but it is nice and sharp. Thanks for sharing.

I like the position of the bird and the BG Ron. The dangling feet add too. I agree, that the head being right against the wing is not optimal for my taste, but a really nice shot.

Nice catch. I bet the background so close to the colors of the eagle made it hard for your camera to track. My camera gets totally confused by this and I in up with perfectly in focus (trees, walls etc) but rarely the bird.

Cool capture, Ron. The 500px really shows good detail. Is that a band on the right leg?

Excellent flight shot, Ron. I like the quartering angle.
