Hi Kalin. Good exposure on the bird .The snow will allow it to work "small in frame" but the bird should be positioned higher in frame.

Hi Kalin, really cool shot. I agree with Joe on putting the bird higher in the frame. I love these kinda of snow shots -- I tried a couple yesterday but didn't get anything this nice.

love the eagle and the pose but the placement isn't great as need above and there is too much empty space around him, you need to crop it tighter

Hi Kalin, I like the outspread wings from the flight pose, and the Eagle is nicely separated from the OOF BG. The falling snow adds interest. Another vote for placing the Eagle higher in the frame.

Hey Kalin, very cool pose and the snow adds super interest. If it was mine I would consider a slightly tighter crop and position the bird a little differently i.e. a bit higher up.

Thank you, gentlemen, for the great tips and comments. I will give it a try with placing the eagle a bit higher and repost. Always a pleasure and a lot to learn from you guys! Cheers, Kalin
