Here is a recent image of a bird I'll never tire of photographing. I played with flipping the image so the eagle is moving left-to-right... do others consider that with certain images? As a general rule of thumb does that make an image 'flow' better, etc in others opinion? Just curious... captured here in northern Utah.

I like this a lot. Great details, exposure control, light, pose and setting. I don't think flipping it horizontally would make a big difference. If anything, I would clone out the blades of grass in the lower left.
Beautiful, John. Great pose and sharpness, the exposure is perfect, and I like your comp. I agree with Axel about the light stems in the LLC. Though OOF, they are just distinct enough to draw my eye.
Excellent image, John. Some people feel more comfortable looking at birds flying the same way we read, from left to right. I suppose we need to keep them in this hemisphere though ;) I'm fine either way.
Lovely as presented, especially that the break in colors does not intercept the head. Blades of grass add to the habitat IMO.
Looks good to me John. I would post the image at 1024 pixels wide. I would probably remove the blades of grass. I've never done much flipping of images; I present them as I capture them for the most part.
Very nice John, I haven't flipped any images that I can think of although I do see your point about left to right versus right to left. I think this is fine as is.
