What a great looking eagle you have here, and it's well exposed and nice and sharp. I love the pose and the perch. I like Peter's crop a little better than yours but I wonder whether you have more space on the left and the bottom of your original capture b/c for me the eagle is a little tight in each frame but quite sure how I think it would look best without seeing the original capture.

Amazing bird and great feather detail..

Beautiful raptor.
Excellent pose, great feather detail, and exposed very well.
Well done.

Absolutely stunning detail and wonderful handling of tonalities! Hope you had a burst of 20 here!

Love Bateleurs. This shot shows a unique pose, and Peter's crop suggestion works better. Love the colours in his face and toes, not to mention the beautiful blue sky.
