    Dobromir, This is a very nice flight image! Sharp, good eye contact, soft top light with a very complimentary BG. Excellent. I keep working on a flight shot of our golden eagle, but a good one has thus far eluded me.

    Dobrimir, You must have a very steady hand as this is very sharp for 1/200 sec. Bummer about the gap in the near-wing. The gliding pose works much better with the bird angling towards you than it would if it were a true side view. EXP perfect. Have you tried with with the BKGR more saturated?

    Thank you for your comments. In this case I used tripod and followed the bird. I guess this was the reason to make a sharp image. The original image has more saturated background, but I did prefer this one.:)

    I like the superb pose and eye contact of this eagle against the OOF background. Killer eye contact and the wing position works for me. I am tempted of toning down a bit and a add some saturation to the nape and shoulder of the right wing to enhace the beautiful golden colors in that parts of the plumage. Congratulations for a fine image :-)

    Great gliding pose, details and BG. Exposure looks good, too.
