Great timing Sid... I like your comp putting the trunk in the lower corner. The body looks a little dark on my monitor. Nice work.

Hey Sid,
Love the talons out! Maybe a hair more opening up on the browns.....but nice that you have the landing perch and sweet light!

Great pose. I'm seeing a bluish tint on my monitor, especially shows up in the tree.

[Dave Barnes]

moment well captured. I like the comp. Bird does also look a tad dark to me, but I dont know the bird that well.

HISid,
I love the intense look on the eagle's face and the outstretched talons! Agree that the body could be a tad lighter.
Best,
Ncki

I like the landing posture, and the concentration shows. I agree, some EC would have helped to bring out more detail. Well captured.

[Bill McCrystyn]

I see your on the job Sid, a usual. What can I say. Maybe a little dark. Sweet shot, great timing!

[Sid Garige]

I guess I should open up the browns a little bit. Thanks every one.

David,

I do notice blue tint after you mentioned it. Those stumps were in the shade and I should process that on a separate layer from bird.
