Nice job with the rain and the BKGR. I would have much preferred that you raised the camera a bit to move the eagle down in the frame. I'd have put him in the lower right third... Could have used a bit more head turn and could use some selective sharpening of the head as well. What were you doing in Valdez???

Thanks, Artie. This is a crop and I may have enough space ot move him down as suggested. Now that you've pointed it out I must agree it would look better lower. As for the head turn...this is the best I got for this eagle.
This is from last June, during my seven-month-long RV trip.
This is a fabulous shot -I love the way you cropped it -lower right crop and you lose the hight perspective. The head turn is great -more of a turn and you become part of the eagles life by looking at you.
Well done.
