A dramatic capture, I really like the pose with the fish and the background, focus looks very good.

Love the pose with prey and the pleasant OOF trees as backdrop. Could you brighten the near wing and extract more detail. Love the entire composition as is though. TFS

Nice Bald Eagle and fish. The eagle stands out nicely. A bit unfortunate that there was not more separation between the eagle and the trees, but we capture the image as we find it. Thank you for sharing, John.

Hi John,
Great capture. I agree with Joseph regarding the BG, but it's not a deal breaker. Really like the pose and the look on its face! I'd be happy just to even see a Bald Eagle!

John, Nice shot, the environment of the trees is not a deal breaker in my book, nice HA and details, the prey is an added bonus.
