Good close-up look at the juvie eagle.  The background is a nice bonus and sets the scene, giving it some drama.

Gary, I really like the 3D effect of this one in the larger version. Nice DOF for the main attraction. Great details. I also like the setting with the trees the mountains and the other eagle.

Great background for this Gary, I often like an oof bird in the background but for some reason the adult pulls my eye a bit here.  Very nice details in the youngster.devil

Nicely done, Gary.  I really like the banking turn and the way the adult in the pg mimics the pose of the main subject.

Interesting perspective with this image.  The immature wing position didn't help you out here.  I like the background to add a sense of place.

You have captured a very nice scene her with the mountains and the adult in the background, Gary. I do wish for a little different wing position with a bit of underwing lighting.
