The light is to die for!
Love the wingspread and the BG as well. Could the mountain be more perfectly placed?
Iq is awesome as well,

Man, this image just screams Alaska!! Nice environmental bird photograph, and great light on the subject.

[Alan Murphy]

Beautifully done. A very nice comp.

[Grace Scalzo]

Fantastic! Subject, light, environment, all beautiful.

excellent environmental shot, good details and a nice BG. I would run some NR on the BG to reduce the noise on the trees and reduce the orange cast a bit without losing the warm tones

Love how the eagle jumps out from the softer and cooler BG! Great detail on the bird!
