Keith,
I find it hard to believe I am the first to comment on this wonderful capture of the "moment".
Is that an unfortunately placed duck?

Powerful shot Keith. Super exposure of the eagles, great detail on the plumage.

Hi Ken. Not a duck, but a gull that just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time

Very nice action shot. IMO the gull doesn't diminish the shot.

Great action shot , in what seem difficult circumstances ! Good job ! Was it taken in Haines by accident ? I visited that place in 1998, with color slide film

. Anyway, great shot as always! Cheers, Hans

Awesome job capturing the action within the frame. Only minor nit is the OFF bird in the BG which distracts ever so slightly

Nice Eagle action, Keith. The feather detail, handling of the whites, and the talons all make this image. Congrats on a great one.

Sweet action, Keith. Nice to get a little eye from each of them, and the intersecting wings really convey the competition.
