Love the intense stare. Nice wing position. Nice work holding the detail in the shadowed underside of the wings.

I like everything about the eagle. The blue sky—well, maybe we just don't get skies like that here in the Low Country. :biggrin: Still, you might consider lightening and desaturating it a bit. Westerners may feel differently.

Wonderful flight shot showing good detail on the larger image. I like that the head of the eagle is in the shadow area of the wing to make it stand out more. Way to go.

The larger version really helps this image. The bird is very intense. Nice exposure and sharpness. Very well done.
