A nice shot, John. I like the wingtip just touching the water (same there is not a wee bit of splash), shadow on the water with what looks like a pale patch reflecting the head, and the feather detail on the belly. And the eyes/beak are pin sharp. Thel ow angle of the shot helps all of these elements

Really like your capture of this magnificent Eagle,lots of good detail and the head looks very sharp.only little nit is the shadow across the head.

I agree with the above comments, all looks sharp and your removal of the stump can not be noticed, good work. Wishing the shadow line wasn't so prominent... TFS

Thank you for the feedback. As always much appreciated.

Nice flight shot so low to the water, I like the golden light on its wings, cool!
