    I like the comp, with lots of space to fly into, and this is nice and sharp. I feel you have exposed this very well. Great image Kobus.

    Nice pose and a nice reach by the bird. Not sure if there is any catchlight in that eye on a bigger image, but it looks a bit dead at this size. Colors are spot on here and it's nice and sharp but I would have prefered a different background (not easy with these guys ... I know). Nice stuff Kobus !

    Great action you got here, and well exposed too. Not sure about the background, at least the head is in the clear, not intercepted. Looking forward to ore.

    Great picture, awesome subject. Agree with background comments and wish more separation between the talons and wing.

    What a good lucking Eagle. The under wing details are terrific. Did you get it with the fish??

    Awesome action shot here - the background could be better but the Eagle is dominant enough to hold my eyes attention! Great pose and good detail considering the unfortunate light quality.

    Love the pose! I feel it is a little tight I and the exposure is right on!
