Your large view is nice with all those ruffled feathers! Tough lighting angle, but you handled it well. Sharon

I like the feather movement in this Ken. I am not sure they are being blown by the wind or if the eagle was shaking off the dust? Either way, I like the movement.

Nothing not to like about this Ken, great shot. That one white feather kinda screams out, maybe you could tone it down some. I'm curious about the size of this Eagle though, guess I'll look it up. It appears to be a little smaller than our Bald Eagles but I don't have anything to compare it too. Cool shot!
