Lovely banking pose in beautiful light. It seems that you may have lost some sharpness on the head and top wing, possibly due to motion blur? Perhaps a higher SS would have taken care of that?

[John Mack]

Really like the dorsal view of flight shots like this. The vertical crop works very well too.

[Isaac Grant]

nice banking pose and exposure is good. I agree with Chris that the bird is not tack sharp. Some more shutter speed would have really helped here.

[Raybel Robles]

Love the banking angle, classic Eagle shot! But I do agree the bird is not too sharp, specially the head, was it a heavy crop?

[Arthur Morris]

Yeah, the head might look a bit funky but the pose is spectacular and it is a pretty good eagle shot for FL :)

with love, artie
