Wow, great head turn to the camera Gail. Well done.

[PhilCook]

Well he/she has certainly zeroed in on you Gail and is looking straight down the barrel of your lens, nice wing sharp and sharp as well......you lot are killing me with all the Eagle and Owl shots

[Mike Milicia]

Cool pose and eye contact.

Comp-wise, I would suggest moving the bird and up and to the right a bit more ... basically an exaggeration of what you already have.

[Alan Murphy]

Nice eye contact. The comp is fine as is to me.,

[Marina Scarr]

I like the way his wings are enveloping him and that gaze! Comp works for me.

[Thanaboon Jearkjirm]

Excellent focus on the head, the image look sharp with good detail and nice exposure as well. Love the looking down the barrel with nice wing pose very much. For composition I might try to crop a bit off the bottom.

[David Salem]

Nice capture Gail,
You sure are getting good at these eagle shots and this one is no exception. Exposure and feather detail look great and I like the pose and the peering HA, Another fine shot.
Might look good as a tighter vertical too. Would show the details and the head better IMO since it is a sub-adult. Well done.

Hi Gail, great inflight capture with good eye contact. I like how the white of the head is against the brown feathers of the far wing, and overall tack sharp. I feel your comp works fine as is.

One day I will pop over to shoot these magnificent birds with you.

Awesome shot and what a stare from that juvie.
Composition works as well for me.

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent detail and flying pose, nice head turn and eye contact.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the eye contact, sharpness and composition is fine as presented. Nice image Gail.
