    Nice flight angle and pose, I love the nesting material being carried. BG won't be to everyones taste but I like some environment in my shots so its good for me, albeit I may have toned down the bright strip.

    Overall, the image looks a little 'gloomy'm that may well be accurate to the scene but I think it could go a little brighter on the browns in the bird.

    Looks razor sharp on the eye

    Hi John, nice image. I concur with Mike's comments. Beautiful eagle and nesting material. Thank you for sharing.

    Eye level Eagle shots are not common so you were in a good place... Sharp and a lot of nesting material sets it apart..

    nesting material add a touch to this one, I like the landscape too which is where you often see the BE's. I might brighten the underwing just a tad.

    John, I like it, super shot of the eagle, the background may not be 100% aesthetically perfect but I think the shot is about the bird going about it's business so good on yer! I agree underwing a tad heavy but that is an easy fix.... hope you have more.
