    Nice job capturing this Juvie. Good light on the underside wings and nice eye contact

    Thanks Cheryl. After contemplating whether it needed a bit more sharpening, and Bill Dix mentioning it might, I gave it another round.

    I like everything about this shot, sharpening a little made details especially the eye stand out a tad more. Great image love how you stopped the action in the wings also.

    Nice flight position and shooting angle. The sharper repost looks better.

    Well done, Geoffrey. Great flight position and light on the underwing. My only wish is that I hadn't clipped his wing on my version of this.

    I love juvies! They are so much more interesting color wise and behavior wise.
    The repost is excellent.
    Good size in the frame and great wing position,
    Gail

    What a great flight shot Geoffrey! Nicely exposed and framed. Sharp enough and love the look of confidence and determination on the eagle. A pleasure shooting with you yesterday.

    Thanks Rob. It was a pleasure capturing images yesterday with you also. Quite an abundance of shore birds and great light.
