Beautiful image, Ken.
I like how the birds are in the tree branch.

Great capture, Ken. I like the interaction. The light is sweet too. Yup, it is the popular hang out!

Nice job getting a look at both eyes, Ken. Your DOF looks good, especially for f7.1. A very nice job!!!

Hi Ken
Nice interaction and detail. The low angle works nicely on this photograph.

Must be a good view from up there! Very nice capture of these Eagles taking a break on their favorite rest stop! The interaction of the two is a nice little bonus.

Many thanks for the comments, much appreciated.
I am not against whitewash, which is just as well!
By the way this is a fallen branch.
