Very Nice . . .
I like subjects in natural surroundings and back grounds epecially when they add so much to the overall comp as this one does. :toast:

It is a lovely setting, I like the head turn of the Eagle but I think you need to work on the colors and or white balance in the image,the eagle appears to be bluish purple. You might also want to consider working on the whites of the eagle's head and tail, very little details show there.

What were your settings? Those help other memebers to give you a more thorough critique as would a larger version to evaluate sharpness and detail.

Very nice environmental portrait of the eagle. I agree with Mia's comments on the color though. The darker feathers in the eagle have a strong blue/magenta color cast.

A nice comp Gary. I too agree with the others as far as color cast issues with this image. Providing settings and a larger version really help with critique if that is what you are looking for.

A striking composition, but handicapped by the issues Mia noted. Some careful post-processing would likely improve this shot.

I hope to see more comments from you.
