    Looking good Jon.....I like the flight pose....with the near wing raised it shows a good view of the talons on the fish....Again the BG is looking smart.....and shows the bird well....I like the crop, which shows the presence of the Eagle...

    The bird, background, and fish make for a really strong image. I only wish the near wing was lower as the head kinda has a floating appearance without any suggestion of the neck or body. The tech are so good though. Exposure, detail, and colors all look great.

    Jon, solid pose with the fish. Lots of interest and good eye contact!

    The droplets coming off of the talons is great. Plenty of details to enjoy.

    The harsh line of the shoreline going across isn't ideal but one can really envision the environment as captured

    Love the talons and the fish and the sharpness. The subject, however, is turning away from us and the position of the shoreline is an unlucky image killer.

    Hi Artie, sorry for the delay just back from holidays. Yes the bird was baited - I was on a charter boat, ( I mentioned in previous posts regarding WTE that the birds were baited)
