This is sweet, Gail.
Not a thing I would change. Loved every pixel of it.

Oh heavens. That's just awesome Gail. Love the tilt of the head the best and the wing position is just killer.

[dankearl]

Gail, you are just getting excellent at BIF photos.
Cool pose and very good exposure in what looks like sunny conditions.
Hats off to you!

Gail,

Great opportunity and you got it right. Love it.

[David Salem]

Love the pose on this one Gail. Great HA, exposure, and I really like the tighter comp, it makes for dramatic look. Wonderful dorsal view with tons of feather detail. One of your best eagle shots IMHO. Great job
