    Gail:

    Another excellent capture, with tremendous sense of action/conflict between the two, esp with open talons and bill.

    I could see a small sliver off top of the frame, and perhaps a small amount off bottom as well depending on the effect of the upper crop.

    Have a safe trip, look forward to further adventure photography when you return.

    Cheers

    Truly an amazing capture, Gail. You did so well to get all this action. This frame may actually be my favorite b/c of the vicious interaction between the two. It's difficult to pick. I like the kick up of snow, that you have good HA on both birds and tha ytou can see 3 sets of talons. You can actually feel their aggression. These frames will win you some contests, Gail.

    Gail,

    I agree with the others above. I would also agree with Randy's suggestion to crop some off the top and bottom.

    Hi Gail, hope you don't mind but especially because it is such a special image and has such a huge potential to win competitions I am sending this repost which I feel does it justice. The original is flat IMO although I am fine with the composition. IQ in this image looks a bit lower than the previous one for some reason.

    Another great action photo, I agree that the IQ is not great on this one.
    I would go back to the RAW and start again.
    This is still really nice.

    Hi Ofer,
    Again, I really like your PP work. Can you tell me what you did? I can see you boosted the yellow in ? selective colors but what else did you do? Many thanks,
    Gail

    Gail, these are wondrous, all 3 of them. Again I must say that if this were mine, I would first say HUZZAH and celebrate with a fine scotch & cigar but would afterwards split the difference between the original post and Ofer's repost.

    Hi Gail, I didn't selectively boost the yellow. I think I followed pretty much the same procedure like in the previous post and the details are there.

    Hi Gail, the action in this, is more intense, and you have captured nicely, especially with the open beaks and clawing talons. Yep, your series of images can go places.

    Enjoy your break, travel safe, and have fun.

    Another superb image!! Great action, exposed very well, I really like the how the talons on the left eagle are about to just grab the one on the right.
    Excellent series.
    Well done.

    Another great frame. The action is so cool and having both eagles eye visible really works.
