    You should love this!
    I would be nice, (I assume you don't have any) for more room at the bottom ub the eagel
    is sharp and well exposed.

    I could go for more room all around, especially with the beautiful habitat you have here. Love the flying pose, perfect wing positions and lots of details. Although the light was not behind you I still think it works well. Although you still got 1/1250s. which is OK for larger flying birds I feel that you could push the ISO higher for even more SS to fully freeze the wings, or if you happen to encounter a faster subject.

    Daniel, thanks very much for your critical eye. The full frame does have some room all around but I wondered if the sand under the bird was a visual distraction from the darker feather detail. In the end after trying several different crops I chose to focus on the bird. I really appreciate critical comments, they are giving me a new perspective on my work.

    Thank you for posting the original. Glad you have more room...I like the strip of sand at the bottom, even more would be fine if you have any other frames. I'd rework this comp and repost, would love to see what you come up with. Great exposure with nice detail all around.

    Love the exposure and fine details on wings. Eye contact is also very good. The second repost shows how much room you have around and it would be great to see a version of the two posts. Well done!

    excellent dynamic pose and nice details. I also prefer a wider crop
