    Spotted a nest of the eagles, they had 2 chicks with them (not visible in the image)
    he light was harsh that day, and dealing with the shadows was a little tricky.
    Nevertheless, it was just wonderful to watch their day-to-day activities, one of which is shown here!

    Nice shot lovely detail in the eye and bill, a shame you clipped the wing tip - perhaps you could repair them using the other tips?

    Shreyas:

    Good comments from Jonathan. I love the talons on the stick too.
    the light is quite a challenge here, both its quality(harsh) and direction, causing shadows on the landing birds head.
    The steep shooting angle required here does reduce your compositional options.

    Very nice activity captured however, and hope to see more. Thank you for your membership support.

    Cheers

    Despite the harsh lighting, you've managed to retain detail in both the shadow and highlight areas and that's no easy feat. Good action as well. The slight rearing back of the bird in the nest and the position of the talons on the stick add to the dynamic nature of the shot. Regarding composition, I think you've done well considering the circumstances under which you took the shot.
