Bald Eagle on the Prowl

[Steve Uffman]

Bald Eagles were taking turns sitting on the nest. This Eagle was hunting and in a matter of moments had a small nutria in its talons that it dropped to the other Eagle in the nest

Steve:

Nice underwing illumination. I think it would be more effective if the lower wing was more extended(visible), from a slightly different bank.

Good exposure overall. Might be able to tease out a bit more detail from the whites on the upper neck.

I might consider slightly less space in front.

Cheers

Steve,
I don't have much to add to Randy's comments. Nice image and well captured flight shot.
