Always nice to get a bird to perch at roughly the level you are, this Martial was very co-operative.

A very impressive bird, the largest eagle in Africa, I believe? Nice management of bright light, and good detail in the whites and blacks. I like that he is watching the skyand ignoring you. A fine shot.

The technical side looks excellent, like this POV and the birds upward gaze Ken.
That eye's clear & sharp, Well done!

Beautiful photo of a powerful looking bird. I wouldn't want to be on the business end of those legs!

Excellent, Ken. The lrger version is awesome. Great bg and prech and I like the intense look of concentration on the bird.
