Tack sharp and great light.
I see a need for CCW rotation.
Great DOF at 5.6.
Whites look excellent and the extended talons are incredibly detailed,

Nice capture Brandon. Agree with a bit of CCW rotation. Awesome flight pose and I like the reflection.

Amazing flight shot, classic eagle strike pose here! Whites on the head exposed perfectly as well, love the catchlight.

Super deluxe image. Love the light quality, sharpness, and action! Excellent exposure work.
Tricky regarding the rotation issue, because the eagle looks pretty leveled, where as the water ripples, not so...
Was the eagle fed fish, or just fishing in the area and came within range?

What a capture! Just incredible. DOF nicely captures wingtip to wingtip.
