What a fantastic frame Gail...Love the action, exposure and details here..

[Joe Senzatimore]

Your images are amazing!!!!Just my own taste , but I would take a tad off the right and add just a bit on the left.

[Raymond Lee]

Beautiful capture! Great details and exposure! Vertical framing is a good choice, but I would prefer to add a bit on the left and chop off the bottom.

[Jonathan Ashton]

what a shot - super exposure and pose excellent timing. Regarding composition, yes I am a little uneasy but I don't think it is far out, maybe just a tad lower in the frame?

[Travis Reid]

great pose, detail and exposure. Well done..

[Nick Palmieri]

Very nice job on this one. Cool pose!

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

I like the pose Gail and the nice clean bg. I wish the fish had a head that would have taken it up a notch

[Karl Egressy]

Great IQ and perfect exposure, Gail. Love your Bald Eagle series.
I would move the bird about 1 cmm back in the frame if it were mine.

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Very nice image Gail! I like the wing position, the concentration on the eagle's face, the details! Well done.

[dankearl]

Killer pose and killer comp.
I would not change a thing.

Wow!!!
Stunning image!!
I really like the pose. It seems like it it's standing in mid air.
Exposed very well and nice details.
Well done.

[Mike Veltri]

Great capture Gail, I like it as presented.

[Grace Scalzo]

As sharp as it is, I wish for just the hint of a wing blur to give it a sense of motion, feels quite static to me. Of course, maybe that was your intention.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Gail, a different pose from the norm - studying his catch. You have exposed the BE very well, especially the darker feathers on the wings, and overall, pops nicely from the sky BG. Comp wise, I would only add a bit to the bottom.

[vishaljadhav]

Amazing image

[David Salem]

Very nice Gail. I like the pose on this one allot. Exposed perfect and lots of detail in the wings. I like the comp as is. Your Eagle shots are very nice. Great work.

[Ivan Ellison]

All the above comments sum it up, a great image to capture, I would lower it slightly, but everything else is spot on. well done

[Bill Dix]

Terrific capture, Gail. Good thing you caught him when you did; looks like he was almost finished with the meal. Great exposure, sharpness. (I'm ok with static.) Add one more vote for just the smallest slivver off the right, added to the left. Great series.

[Tim King]

Looks like it's thinking "hey, where did the rest of my fish go" hahaha. A finely tuned photo, Gail.

[Melissa Groo]

Another super eagle image from you Gail. Just beautifully exposed and so sharp. I am fine with the comp. I love the intent look on his face.
Excellent work.

[Frank Schauf]

Really nice flight shot and great details, Gail.

[arash_hazeghi]
