    Looks good to me. The boxy crop works well here as does the BKGR. The view of the dorsal surface of the near-wing is spectacular. In a perfect world the tail would have been spread and raised and the far wing would have been fully down. Heck, you gotta dream big.

    Holy smokes Sasan, gorgeous eagle and your image is a beauty. Quite powerful, well done. I like the vertical crop and the bounty of feathers to view on the near wing. Pretty sweet!

    Hi Sasan, this feels like you were flying with the eagle - great eye level capture showing the dorsal view so well. The Eagle pops from the BG nicely.

    Nice one! Where is your Steppe Eagles taken? Oman? The earth-colored BG fits nicely with the colors of the bird. Great feather details but looks a little oversharpened to me. The eye contact is amazing! The pose works well with the crop but a raised right wing would have taken it to the next level.
