Full frame with a crop from the right.

Gail:

Great wing stretch, talon display, good detail in feathers, squarish crop works for me because of the strong diagonal from the wings. Sharp and well exposed.

Open bill a plus.

Cheers

Great action, with perfect upstretched wings -- pretty amazing to catch this full frame without clipping a wing. Nailed the crop. Love the diagonal from wing tip to fish.

[stuart wanuck]

good job very nicely captured

[Grace Scalzo]

Perfect timing!

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

A superb dynamic image Gail, I like the intense stare, the talons, wing position and show of tail feathers. Well done.

[Nick Palmieri]

Really nice pose. Great capture!

[Jon Rista]

Wow, love that pose! The back feathers are barely above the ground. Exposure is superb as well. Wonderful work!

[David Salem]

Wow! Full frame. Pretty darn close. Excellent landing pose showing the extended legs and talons. Nice detail in the wing and body due to the perfect exposure settings. Great Eagle shot Gail

[PhilCook]

One of the few times that I feel a square crops works nicely and you've worked the exposure very very well in such bright conditions......those talons are way too wicked....I'll be having bad dreams tonight now lol

[Jonathan Ashton]

Terrific shot, super timing and a great pose, you can sense the bird's anticipation. Wonderful exposure too, absolutely first class.

[Jeannean Ryman]

Perfect timing, spot on exposure, wonderful details, great wing-stretch, and intense stare all make this a very pleasing image. Nicely done!

[Karl Egressy]

Pose , timing and IQ are all excellent, Gail.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Gail, excellent exposure, and well timed to capture the extended legs and raised wings. Great to see the bait too. Ive never been one for square crops, but this actually works.

[Andrew Merwin]

You nailed it Gail! I like everything about this image—action, techs, composition—all excellent. TFS

[MohsenVahedipour]

Excellent action shot. I like the Wings position & great IQ Gail. Thanks

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent flight pose and sharp details, great timing.

[nick clayton]

Beautiful wing position on this well lit and greatly detailed image Gail. This spectacular Eagle against a snow background is a standout image.
