Thanks for the comments on my last eagle post. I had over 300 images to go through and have now got it down to 20. Here is another shot at it, photo was taken around 11:30 in the morning on a sunny day. Comments welcome.

The composition on the eagles is great. Excellent wing positon on the two and great talon extension on the one bird. From a technical standpoint the whites look hot but I'm not on a calibrated screen at the moment so that could be it. Compositionally, when I look at the larger version the crow/raven in lower left is distracting. I'd be tempted to clone it out of there. Pretty cool shot overall.

Interesting photo. Good detail in the dark feathers, but the whites are blown out. I think you were dealing with some pretty strong light. If you shot in RAW you might be able to adjust the highlights to get more detail in the white feathers. From my experience with both wild and captive bald eagles it is not easy to get detail in both white and dark feathers in bright sun light. Still, a nice capture of interesting behavior. Thanks for sharing.
