I like the gun metal blue back ground, pose and the light shimmering off his left wing. I wish it was posted larger to enjoy it more.

Really like the way this image pops with the sharp and well-lit eagle set against a dark and stormy-looking BG.

I like it as above, plus I love those hanging meat hooks. Too bad Homer is now the pits.

Hey Artie,

Thanks for the comment. Homer really isn't that bad now. Jean continues to feed, so there are still many photographic opportunities there. This image was made after the ban on feeding was enforced. Do agree, it's not what it used to be :(

Best,

Chris

YAW and agree. And BTW, we allow up to 800 pixels wide here.

Sweet pose and killer sky, Chris, got to love the pantaloons :)

I always wanted to go to Homer, but it never worked out for me, who knows...
