    The male from the nest I follow as he landed on one of his favorite perches after delivering a fish to the nest (blood on his tail is from the fish).

    Sharp with a decent exposure and a unique wing position but too many negatives for me: steep angle, uneven lighting, and too many branches.

    What you said about sharpness, exposure and wing position I will take as a compliment which was my goal capturing this....I've tried to get it for 4 weekends straight and the lighting is very challenging let alone what he flies through (woods) to get to this perch. I knew the background/clutter would be mentioned and I understand but there's no way around it with this pair of Eagles and I refuse to pass up on images like this.

    Thanks for the critique.
