Jimbo,
Glad to see you posting!
I love the in your face composition.
Dead sharp, well exposed, super background and lots of interest.
I like the placement in the frame but feel a little more room all the way around would make this an even stronger image.

Cracking head-on shot Jim, I agree with James on the more room all round, but for this size on the net, the impact of the image is great.

Nice in flight pose, good capture, Jim.

awesome shot, and the name fits perfect, can we say attitude!!!

I actually like the tight crop as I feel it really draws you into the facial expression and clenched feet.

Prepare for tired words..... the BG I would try to "de-bubble" I'm just full of new words the last couple days.

So what I mean I think is there are some bubble like whitish blobs in the background that I think could be toned down a bit, especially on the RHS where they almost form 2 vertical lines.

Awesome pose and I absolutely love the bg, "bubbles" and all :)
Agree with a bit more room all around. Gotta make it to Alaska some day.

What a great incoming pose! Excellent exposure, IQ & BG. TFS

Excellent image. Very nice pose with full wings stretch, colors and composition.

Awesome Bald Eagle shot. I like the look on the eagle's face.

BTW, I love your ebook, amazing stuff (both pictures and advice) in it.

There is nothing wrong with the BG, it is perfectly natural. the white patches are snow.

Absolutely STRIKING... in every way!

Hi Jim, hope all is well with you. Long time no post. Great looking eagle shot and I love the incoming pose. The techs look right on and the BG and colors are great. Nice work. Hope to see you this winter.
