Very nice exposure, love the sharpness, the feather details, and how the eagle is standing at the end of the perch. This image has good environment show but I might consider desaturate the background a bit to make the eagle stand out more.

Looks good Mark, don't mind the bg much, would be a difficult but the only sick I would try evicting is the one running through its head !!! Lots of detail and fine pose, got a keeper !!!!

Hi Mark - looking good, exposure looks good and like the pose. I might darken the eye - just a tad.
BG is what it is.
Like it.

Hi Mark,
I like this as presented. Its a good habitat capture, with good feather details, a good head angle and sharp eye...good show...:cool:

[Mark Theriot]

Thanks everyone, I'm going back out today to practice capturing the correct exposure in the camera.

Thanaboon, good suggestion on the background. Lance, agree, I'll give the eye a try. My tools are Aperture and Nik plug-ins but I think I'm to the point of having to purchase / learn Photoshop!
