Marc:

Excellent timing. Perch is effective, lean forward really gives a sense of motion, nice wing position.

Sharp. Exposure nice, I think you might be able to go 1/3 stop brighter, show a bit more detail in the blacks (which are already good) and not blow the whites.

Well captured.

superb pose of this beautiful eagle Marc. I'm with Randy for lifting the exposure a tad. lovely detail as well...

[David Fletcher]

Beautiful bird Marc and good timing. Some halos showing and would go with suggestions already made. Nicely done!
