    This is amazing action/behavior you have captured and I love the flying snow. IT's amazing that you managed to capture the locked talons of these two!!! There's only one thing I wish for here, and that is to see one eye of one bird...just one. I feel that is the only thing keeping from making this image a 10.

    Wow, Thats one outstanding shot. The closeness to the scene, the flying snow and nice focus. As Marina stated, this would be over the top if there was an eye visible.

    Great shot. Too bad you were not 90 degrees to your right.

    Golden eagles are one of my favorite raptors - a eye shot in this would be great, but the action captured here with the locked talons and nature at its finest is amazing, shots like this are the ones I dream of (but have not gotten yet). Amazing shot

    For an image of two birds with no eyes visible you have created a wonderfully exciting image. Were the birds baited? Where was the image made?I would guess from a hide in Finland....

    Amazing shot excellent detail well focussed, OK an eye would have been nice but this is really impressive.

    Ciao Gio,

    This is a really marvellous image! I agree to be able to see an eye from either of the birds would be great - but they would probably have the dictating membrane over the eye anyhow - given the action.

    I was in Trondheim, Norway at about the same time but didn't get anything like this level of action! Maybe I will have to re-think my plans for next year!

    Best wishes,
    Gerald

    Thanks for the invite Gio! We ask that everyone mention if a bird was attracted by baiting even if you think that everyone already knows that that is the case. So please remember to do so. Thanks!

    ps: the image is still astounding!
