    Pretty awesome interaction Gail! I don't even mind the environs. My only recommendation is to lighten the upper juvi's eye and maybe? tone down the beak a touch. All in all a very nice image even with the crop!

    Killer interaction shot Gail!! Great HA by both and the wing and leg position of the one on the left on makes this shot spectacular. Techs look nice and they booth are sharp. I like the natural BG with the trees kinda framing the dueling Eagles.
    One to be proud of..
    Very nice work.

    Great interaction of two juvenile birds - pity about the removal of the TC. Murphy's Law. Looks very sharp.

    Great moment caught, Gail. I assume this wasn't from your bedroom window. I think the mid-forest setting adds to the image. Interaction is super. Yes to just a touch of brightening of the upper eye.

    Excellent dynamic image Gail. They are both sharp and have the right HA. I like the BG too. Well done

    Great action, two good head angles, perfect amount of separation, and they were even kind enough to perform in from of the lighter part of the BG!
    And all of this captured to perfection ... congrats!

    Gail, you captured fantastic action here...Love the fact that eyes of both birds are visible and open beaks...Good to see some different BG that blue sky where usually these kind of action takes place..Well done.

    Fantastic!!! What would you think about darkening the tree trunks on the right, just a little, and the white spots in the LR edge?

    Great interaction shot, Gail. The look pretty serious about it, especially the one at lower elevation. Well done.

    Hi Gail, great action between the two, and they are both sharp. I like how they are separated from the BG, and how you managed to capture them in the 'opening' of the trees. The central placement works well.

    Even with big crop, it still has the details. I love the inclusion of the environment.
    Well captured.
