Bald Eagle and fish looking back

I like this because of the fish. Kind of like he is saying "Put me back,Put me back"

Agree, the "pose" of the fish head is a nice detail. The bird rocks too and I like your vertical presentation.

[dankearl]

I too, like the vertical comp and very nice exposure.
The white head still pops from the white snow, tough to get right.
Nice work.

excellent dynamic pose, good details. the head whites look a bit hot to me.

great dynamic image TFS

[Frank Schauf]

Superb shot! Excellent flight pose and very nice details.

[Daniel Cadieux]

ha ha to the fish expression! I like the full up-swing of the wings, and you did well going to a vertical presentation here.

[Karl Egressy]

I like the pose and the fish is a great addition, Gail.
As Arash mentioned, the head looks hot. It has values as high as 252. Theexposure of the dark area is excellent.
Linear burning of the head or even the snow, or other ways of darkening, would improve the image IMO.

Another beauty, Gail. Have you trained this guy to fly back and forth while you snap away? Great wing position, and vertical comp; and of course the fish.

Another super image Gail, I like it very much love the pose and the fish and I suspect he might have been saying a little bit more then "put me down!". I think the bill, part of the neck, a little bit of the upper surface of the tail and the feet are a little bit too bright, other than that first class. I like the crop I also think a landscape would look good.

Nice choice of the vertical composition, the flight is powerful
catch in the claws takes it over the top, wonderful exposure

Excellent flight pose Gail! I might crop out the dark snow at the bottom of the frame.
