    Hi Dan, I really like this angle, together with the concentrated, and determined pose of the eagle. Good to see the left talon ready to grab what he has his eyes on, and Im fine with the surrounding grasses.

    Dan, I like the resolute expression, and the strutting posture, exposed talons. Dried grasses, and the blue BG work well.

    Well composed and I just love the grasses and that soft blue in the sky! The lifted foot/talon makes this image more interesting. For future us, you may want to try to extract some more details out of the whites on the top of the eagle's head.

    Neat scene, and I love the surroundings. Super that the talon is in clear view! I'd selectively lighten the eagle as it seems a tad dark as posted (the grasses look OK as is and may look too bright if you lightened the whole image).

    Hi Dan, I really liked this image for a very different pose of this magnificent bird. Nice low angle,sharp and beautiful environment.

    I love this one, Dan. The walking pose, the claw, the gorgeous habitat with the great bg. Superb image.

    Great pose and excellent suggestions above. A bit more sharpening on the eye and face and a Linear Burn on the top of the head and/or NIK CE Detail Extractor on all of the eagle would likely improve this. Like everyone else, I love the setting.
