Food Fight!!

[Mark Theriot]

The adult Eagle caught the fish - but the younger one chased him down and ripped it away! I got multiple shots of the chase and theft, but this was right after the fish was ripped away!

Incredible action Mark !!! Would work on the adult's eye see if you can get more detail Could also tone down the adult's white feathers, difficult exposure and well handled !!! I like the overall shadow detail and energy !!!

[Lance Peters]

love the interaction and the composition works well - nearly a mirrored pose.
Agree with AL'S comments.
Like it a lot!!

Very, very nice Mark. I love the capture. Its balanced in frame, and has symmetry. Agree on the techs. Keep them coming Sir. Good show...:cool:

[Tom Walters]

What a great image of interaction between the two. I too love the composition and the near symmetry of their poses. It really adds to the image. I agree to tone down the adults white feathers & also maybe crop or clone the area below the birds out, the white area.

Thanks everyone - I'm going to take some time this week and work on it. Here's the link to the full series.

Great behavior you captured here, as mentioned the mirror pose of the eagles are superb. The surprise look on the adult face is nice too, it tells who got snatched :D Wish the white area and OOF water tank (i guess) is not there.

great shot and good moment Mark...

At this situation where did you aim your focus?

[Mark Theriot]

It was a really great time everyone!

Edy, I was following the adult with expanded center point on a Canon 7D - so before the crop he was towards the center.
