    Great Shot. Tack sharp and the exposure looks good. I love these birds, I only wish they were closer to Ottawa...Road Trip maybe?

    Gail, cool banking angle, and I like the concentrated stare from the eagle. Exposure looks good, sharp, and Im glad you left more space at the bottom, than the top. Good to see a hint of clouds in the sky BG too.

    They are seen here with certain regularity...unfortunately they are very skittish and flee from 200 yards away!!

    Nice pose, exposure and sharpness are there, and I love the hint of cloud. I like the amount of spece left and right, but wouldn't mind seeing the eagle a little bit lower in the frame.

    Another stunner from you Gail. Excellent sharpness and EXP. Perfect head angle. I can only dream about getting an eagle shot like this someday! TFS.

    Awesome capture, Gail, love the pose, fine details, and eye contact. The face and beak are crystal clear. Nice work!

    This pose works for me, Gail. I was a bit curious when I first saw it, but after looking at it a few times, I realize I have never seen this pose captured before. Your pastel BG really works with the bird which is very nicely exposed.
