Had a great time on Saturday here in northern Utah... there are some friendly souls in the photography world, including the friend who let me use his 600 f/4 for a short while so that I could capture a few images, including this one. At first I wasn't sure about the grass in the lower right corner, but I think they add an interesting touch. Cropped top & left (70% of original image remaining)
Awesome work John! I love the unique composition and incredible action that you captured here. I suspect that the flying eagle had clipped wings in the original, so I really like the choice that you made here to focus in tighter. The lower bird is a nice balance to the bird coming in from the top side. Very effective...glad you had a chance to borrow a 600mm for a bit. :)
No nit on the technicals. Composition-wise, I personally prefer to see either you include more of the eagles or crop tighter around the heads (would be much better if they were closer to each other), making it a vertical format. Either way, more of the bottom eagle would be better in my opinion.
I like the comp as it is, lovely light, poses and action, my only nit is that extra wing covering the lower eagle. still, wonfderfull shot. congratulations!
