Dottie and I went to Circle B Bar Reserve this morning. I was fortunate to be in the right spot when one of the eagles flew by. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

The eagle looks very nice. Nice wing position.And nice to see abit of a headturn your way.
I do wish for a bit more color in the BG sky ( I am not a fan of high key but that is me!)

I like the composition, HA and high key effect. Nice image Joe.

Joseph, nice expose and capture. As for composition, I think the bird is a bit small in the frame for a high key image to work IMO. Loi

Joe I would be very pleased with this, they were just coming back to Florida as we left, lots of nice detail on the bird and the white head looks very good.

I could see a tighter crop here, but I like high key images so this mostly works for me. I like the head tilt and the apparent gaze towards you.

[Robert Kimbrell]

Maybe a little tighter crop for me also, The head look good, with color head turn and sharpness, nice image.

[David Salem]

I agree with all the comments, Nice work.

Thanks everyone for viewing, commenting and offering suggestions to improve the image. I have cropped the final tighter as suggested. Thanks again.
