Amazing capture of an unusual pose, Robert. Exposure and sharpness are perfect, as is the composition. The only nit, and a truly minor one, is that there is no hint of an environment other than the blue sky. Overall, it's a truly great image.

Beautiful capture and IQ! The saturation of the sky competes a little with the bird, for me. Easy to bring down just blues without changing anything with the bird.

What a beautiful eagle. I love the unusual pose, the feather detail, the eagle eye, and the wonderful blue background. Great capture!

This is one killer flight pose!!! Exposure looks spot on and it's just tack sharp all over. While I imagine the sky really was that blue, toning it down could lend itself to making your eagle more powerful.

I like the unique pose, sharpness, DOF and details. Excellent image Robert!i

Wow, that's one unique pose. Simply beautiful.
