Fantastic action shot!
I thought it seems a bit low on contrast so I boosted with with a levels adjustment in Photoshop.
That made the blue in the sky fade so I used a saturation adjustment layer to bring back the blues.

Another great look at this behaviour. I was recently re-watching Attenborough's "Life of Birds" series which has some fun footage of eagles (of another sort) doing their fighting dance. I like your composition and feel there's a perfect amount of space around the birds...

[John Cooper]

Another great capture Jim - love the pose on the left-side eagle with mouth opened. Definitely doesn't need a contrast boost IMO.

Jim:

Great interaction, amazing poses they can get into. true athletes. I too was OK with original contrast on my monitor.

Cheers

You do get some of the greatest interaction action images I've seen on the web.
Is this a battle, or some of type of pair bond reinforcement behavior?
