    Was this a missed strike? I like the pose and light. I wish for a bit more eye contact and would sharpen the bird a bit more. Thanks for sharing!

    Those claws...Yikes! Heaven help those it grabs. It does seems a bit soft as is. A much better angle on this presentation.

    Awesome Ken! This one is a lot better than your previous post. One does not get the opportunity to photograph a martial eagle often and it looks like you made the most of the situation, I wish I would have been there!
