I like the landing pose, sharpness and underwing details. I don't mind the bird on the right, the clipped one in the lower left is a bit distracting, though.

Excellent wingspread, and I too like the bird on the right. Too bad the one on the left's face is so much covered by foliage, and I wish it wasn't cut off. I find the large shadow on the incoming eagle (including part of the face) unfortunate. Superb view of the feather patterns under those huge wings!

Beautiful wing span and landing pose, nest adds to the image too, I might clone out the bird in the lower left other than that perfect. TFS

Great eagle shot. I like the wing pose. Wonderful details and sharpness.

This is a strong image. The wide open wings offers me the feeling of power.
Exposed well, sharp with outstanding wing detail.
IMO a wider composition that included the entire bird on the lower left would make this an even stronger composition.

dear all thanks for your kind response and suggestiong.
the compo was difficult as i was standing almost touching the thorny bush and there was no space to go left.

also taken from ground and this is the tree where these all eagles perch in morning no nest however. so the angle was little steep.

will go again and try more different distance shots to get little more bottom area ..

thanks again for your lot of suggestions.
