Hi Ben, excellent light and IQ here, and you have captured a super pose and HA. Good DOF on the big fellow, and the feather detail shows up nicely. I like the hint of clouds in the BG.

[Lyle Gruby]

I agree with Stuart in that the subject, perch, and clouds look great. Comp-wise I'd have the bird a little less centered by cropping in slightly from the right and allowing a little more room on the left.

Majestic pose of this striking raptor, Ben. Like the light, head turn, and if it are mine I would build a bit more detail in the darker shaded ares, feathers front of neck, center of back, rear foot and legging.

I like the pose and feather display on the head, nice and sharp and also like the color and details on the perch. Well done!

[William Dickson]

I agrees with the above comments. A beautiful image. Good work

[Mike Poole]

Beautiful shot, and the light is sublime. I love the way the light graduates from the head down towards the tail.

A genuine contender for a place on anyones wall

[Raybel Robles]

Beautiful image. The sharpness seen on the feathers is oustanding. I would like to see another version with just a bit more room around.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. All are appreciated.

Powerful bird, very well captured here

[Charles Jorgensen]

Wow Ben, that's an amazing image. I've been trying to get a good shot of a Tawny for some time now and haven't been able to come close to anything like this yet. The only possible improvement I could think of would be a background other than the sky but you can't choose the eagle's perch can you... Nice one!

[BenBotha]

Thanks again for the comments.

Great look at this Eagle and I like the raised hackels showing all the nice feather detail. Exposure, comp, perch and BG all look good to me. Well done
