Thanks for looking

Nice one Joe... I like the edge of the ice you've shown along the bottom of the frame. Looks like great detail, and I like the head turn back. If you have the pixels, it might be interesting to see more room right & left to show more of the ice/environment. Cool shot.

Very nice Joe, good detail and a nice job with the exposure in what looks like challenging light.

Nice comp and great detail in the eagle. Light is a little dull, but you have to work with what you get!

I like the pose and setting and would clone out the dropping in the lower left and might lower the color temperature a bit.

I like it Joe! How is the post-processing coming along? I'd prefer a little more room on both the right and the left.
