Love the feeling of action, movement and power with this young eagle. The splash is tremendous and the curled far wingtips and his stare are great.

[Ken Hadfield]

Striking image. Looks like you got your money's worth here! Well done!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very cool pose, and I love the fact it is coming towards us with the water splash behind and out of DOF range...very neat 3D effect. Happy belated 4th of July!

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Doug, dramatic action captured here, and love the intense stare ahead. The BE is tack sharp, and yes, certainly a 3D effect. Well captured.

Wow Doug thats great. Besides from actually having a fish, its one of the best I have seen. Has it all. Power, speed, killer eye contact, feather detail and a nice splash of the unique water color. Very nice.
