Thanks for viewing. All C&C valued Greatly.

Nice detail and I like the backlit effect. But IMO, eagle images need at least a good look at the eyes if not direct eye contact.

Yes He was chasing another eagle so he wasn't concerned with me otherwise he might have looked at me.

He's a big one. Nice shot.

Good reflex. Good shot!

Indeed - great work. My critique would be that the bird and the sky look as though assembled from two different images. It doesn't quite look as though that eagle is in that particular sky (rather is on it) - to me anyway. Could that be control points or sharpening process, or am I just nuts?

Good reflexes. Mine would have ended up in the thread 'post your best missed shots!'
