    Auto sharpened, tripod used, lightened image overall and then selectively under wings,
    lightened tail feathers, darkened highlight on head and sharpened slightly again after
    resizing image.

    This eagle's mate has a metal band on its right leg. There's one juvenile in the nest.

    Great timing. The screaming pose makes this for me. Good PP work as well.

    Nicely captured action with the open beak and I really like the flared tail feathers.

    Gorgeous bird and capture. Suggest selective lightening of underwings a bit.

    I like the image as is and the open beak is an added bonus.
