I took this shot at Conowingo Dam in Md. The eagles were fighting over fish.....One would catch a fish and another eagle would try to steal it!

What TERRIFIC action you captured here, Bob. I am seeing a little dead space on the left and think it could use a crop there to make it more of a true horizontal. Love the fact that we can see all talons and the fish. I only wish to see just a little of the far eagle's head but a super capture regardless.
Amazing shot, glad you shot this at f/8 to keep both eagles in good focus. Excellent action shot, I'm enjoying the vise grip on the fish - says that he's holding on to his prize for dear life!
Well done Bob. As Marina mentioned, both heads would have been better than just one!!!
The crop is an interesting choice of many. I see the logic of giving more room to the left with the dominant subject looking in that direction. I agree that a bit less to the left would be better.
Two heads are better than one as the saying goes, but this is very sharp, my only thought would be to saturate the blue sky color a little more as it looks a little muted as is
