Loads of action going on here Arash and both eagles showing excellent HA. Lovely sharp image, good exposure and the clouds in the sky work well here. Are the white spots snow cascading from the birds?

[Stu Bowie]

Well exposed and both sharp. Well timed to capture this mid air battle.

[Arno Ellmer]

Great action photography, Arash! I love the good HA of both,as well as the very pleasing bg.
Do you have a shot with both eagles separated? ( have not seen all your other shots of the series.)

[Satish Ranadive]

Wonderful action packed image.Love the wing positions,open mouth,beautiful lights and BG.

Regards,
Satish.

Excellent Arash, your latest images from Alaska are superb, love the action and clouds in the BG.

[Nick Palmieri]

[Morkel Erasmus]

this is a blistering shot (no pun intended ) Arash!!!

[Karl Egressy]

Great interaction shot, Arash. Very well captured.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Great image with nice dynamic action. Sharp throughout!

[Corey Hayes]

Awesome shot. I like the background the dark brown of the birds really pop against the cool blue.

How many shots did you take during your trip?

[Bill Dix]

These just keep getting better. Great detail (esp. in the large version), fantastic action with both birds' talons locked on the prey, super exposure. Well done, again.

[Marina Scarr]

Terrific action captured here, Arash. The colors and sharpness are outstanding. Love the falling snow.

I took hundreds of photos but after sorting and deleting the bad ones I have about 120 frames that I like and will keep. It is a very productive location and that's why Jim has decided to lead a workshop there next year. It will be a blast for the participants!

[Jim Neiger]

Arash,

I like this one almost as well as your other one. That last few minutes made the whole trip! Still want to do a 20 frame per sec. sequence? I ended up with 11 frames of the battle.

One after another action shot, Arash.
It really does seem like a great location.
How did you get there?
Fly to Juneau and take a Charter Bush flight or boat?
You may have mentioned it in your Trip blog but I missed it.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Hey Dan we took the ferry from Juneau to Haines. It's a 4-hour ferry ride

Another keeper Arash!
IQ is excellent and I love the look on the left bird.
I like how the wings are overlapping on the shot,
Gail

[PhilCook]

Just to be repetitive and because I cant view this image without giving compliment....EXCELLENT Arash !

[arash_hazeghi]
