Beautiful light and nice crisp detail on the Eagle. Good flight angle. I'm wondering what it would look like without the dark spot in the URC, and given that this is full-frame I might be tempted to try a version that crops it out.

Lovely light great eye contact and back ground..

[Daniel Cadieux]

Mighty sweet light for sure!! The BG looks like golden marble, cool. Love the texture of the neck and head feathers...this must be so awesome viewed big. I could see a version cropped bottom and right (and a tad left).

great pose, light and golden light. sharp details. the blacks are blocked, I would try to open them in post. Crop could go tighter and BG shows some noise

sweet image overall, TFS

[Martin Dunn]

Gorgeous light and colours together with a wonderfully sharp subject. White feathers beautifully exposed.
Background noise doesn't bother me.

Sweet, sweet light, which in turn has brought out the feather detail nicely. I would take a bit off the top.

Beautiful light and Colors. It's a wonderful Picture.

I agree, Great shot in great light. Well done
