I liked the feather detail on this one, along with that huge fish. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2017) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

That is one big fish!! Nice pose from the eagle. I'm not wild about the largely centered composition. Looks like there could be options.

Hi Jerry,

Comp is OK as is--maybe take a little off the LH side. You have plenty of room to try several different crops if you would like to experiment. The lighting on the feathers is very nice......................Jim

Beautiful feather detail and a sweet pose. I also like the icy bg in this one, Jerry. Well done.

Nice detail in this one Jerry and you handled the whites perfectly. Little off the left and bottom wouldn't hurt. Great pose!

Missed this earlier. Great image which I think could be better cropped a bit tighter. The larger version really kicks when you blow just the bird up.
Cheers
