This image was created this morning. Because I can never get the chicks facing the camera at the time the parents come back into the nest I set up the tripod and lock it down so that I can layer a good chick photo into a good adult photo. The chicks as well as the adult on the right were taken just a couple of seconds before the adult coming back into the nest photo. Also cleaned up some of the bird dropings. Rod
Looks good Rod !!! ... got the entire family !!! Great pose for both adults and wish the kids were looking at the landing bird. Got a great nest here clean and good bg !! btw might want to experiment with a 1.4X just to flatten the angle more !! I like it a lot !!!

It is a cool image you created. While it is a digital composite I like the behavior shown. The outstretched wings on Dad is super. the nesting material in his talons is a nice touch.

Saw this yesterday and I think it is a wonderful capture and amazing to get the eagle landing and the others in the shot.
