Hi Gail
That,s about as good as it gets . Supposed to be critique but I can't think of any ! The look of power in those feet is something else.!!
First one definately.
Cheers

No doubt that this Eagle is a fighter and is completely focused on what's in front of him. What a terrific image. Wing position shows him getting ready to pounce with those super talons. Great job. Too bad the tip of his beak is interrupted by the wing, but I can't really call that an issue.

Hi Gail - I always love your eagle images and this is no exception. Great sharpness and pp work. I do like the snow detail at the bottom of the original frame and might include a bit more of it. The lack of prey is a complete non-issue for me.
TFS,
Rachel

Wow this is great Ms. Bisson!
i think not showing the prey makes the image more interesting because it makes us wonder what he's going after. And when you make people look longer and think about your picture you've done a great job. Goodnight!

Killer peak action, Gail. I love it. Not seeing the prey does not bug me.
Very nice IQ with perfect exp and sharp details.
A very formulaic minor crit - I wish the bill wasn't merging with the far wing.
I'd clone the pice of ice between the leg and the tail.

I like the sharpness, details, exposure, pose and great view of the talons. Composition wise I would prefer something in between your original post and the repost. Excellent image Gail!

I'm OK with the crop in the OP...we are right in there with the action. Quite the intense and fierce look on this fella and right at the prime moment of the action...you would not think it was going for a piece of chicken! I'm OK too with no prey visible, it's easy to think it was just out of the frame anyhow. The bill tip is visible enough against the dark feathers that having it merged with the wing, although minimally unfortunate, is not too bad. I agree with eliminating the bright piece of snow between the leg and tail.

The OP works much better for me, Gail. Love the vicious look of this raptor and those outstretched talons add quite a punch! Great PS work!

Talk about impact!!! One of the most captivating eagle frames I have seen in a while. Very sharp and well exposed. The readied talons and the look on its face is serious and tells all. One of your best, No, your best eagle frame IMHO.

Gail what a way to start the year you are going to have to work super hard to maintain this standard! I love the image and the fact the prey was missing never occurred to me. My only thought was that the bird was a tad large in the frame, the size in the second pane looks ideal to me. The other thing - have you tried flipping the image horizontally - it looks even more impressive to me!

Repost looks great Gail! The flip works good if you want to frame and hang an image and its close to a corner. You can have the bird looking or flying away from the wall and into the room instead.

Have seen alot of Eagle shots thru the years but this one really has that "WOW" factor. Lots of emotional appeal which is rare.
