A very eye catching shot. The only negative comment I would make is that it is less than ideal to have the horizon running through the wing, so a shot taken from a lower or higher angle may have improved presentation. Having said that I like the image very much indeed, I like the exposure and colours.

Steen:
I think you did very well here. The close, larger dark silhouette , balances against the brilliant setting sun. Rich colors, fish a bonus, distant shoreline adds depth.
You could quibble about having the eagle all against the sky, rather than split by the horizon. I like the slight backlighting of the talons.
Looking at the shore/water interface, may need the slightest counter clockwise rotation, but close.
Do be careful looking towards/into the sun when doing this type of shot.
Cheers

Hi Steen, a well balanced comp with the Eagle and sun in opposite corners of the frame, and I do like the overall colours. I like the silhouette of the eagle, especially with the primaries against the colourful sky BG. The fish catch rounds the image off nicely. Well captured.

If the horizon needs to run behind the subject then this is the best spot IMO. Very appealing concept, well executed. I only wish the eagle was not angling away from us, but darn you captured an appealing scene here!!

I am fine with the bird placement on the horizon line.
But I think the focus was past the bird as it looks a little OOF to me.
And the angle as Daniel mentioned is not ideal.
Great idea, well executed anyway.
TFS!

Thanks to all of you taking time to give feedback on my image. Much appreciated.
Just for the record, my "Show Focus Point" Lightroom Plug-in show that the AF-point has hit the head of the eagle ... ; - )
