Share?

This mature eagle looks like he is asking the juvenile eagle to share a bit of his fish. I was struck by how much larger the juvenile is. I suspect the juvenile is a female, while the mature eagle is a male. Female eagles are usually a third larger than the males. By the way, there was no sharing. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2017) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

A very nice scene, Jerry.  The poses convey the interaction very well.  techs look good as well.  I like it.

I like this interesting scene.  The mature eagle looks like he is being very patient. Nice detail on both birds.

Jerry, really nice image, and too bad there was no sharing.  I think your interpretation of the mature eagle's thinking was probably correct.  Hopefully he got his own food soon afterward.  The large image is great.
