Nice capture of this guy. I like the head turn. I would dial back on the exposure a touch. The eagle's back looks a little too light. Great images. Keep them coming.

Nice job, Sandy, particularly for the harsh lighting conditions. Excellent composition.

Sandy: What a beautiful bird. Getting the back pose really shows off the feathers. I think the image looks bright. The sky also feels like it is suffering from the brightness. I took a quick shot at a couple of adjustments for the bird and the sky. See what you think.
