I have been watching all you great photographers with fantastic eagle shots for quite some time.I would love to know how you guys do it as sometimes they can be very hard to capture just right.Most of my opportunities are flights to the nest with the subject mostly high above me.This time I caught one flying level with me in some good light.
C&C welcome.Thanks for looking.
Great images! Great background. I'd love to see you recover some of the blacks or increase shadows (play around with curves)...something to add a bit of contrast - but that's just personal. I really like the framing of 1 and 2.
Excellent shots, Dennis, showing a good framing approach.
It is often that a nicely framed smaller BIF image is more effective than a larger BIF which is boxed in.
Wildlife photographers often yield to a temptation to show the maximum possible enlargement crop of their targets at the expense of composition and framing.
I would still place the eagle #3, and even #2, higher in the frame.

Thanks Peter
I reframed the last one and it does look better to me.The second one was already very low on the water and I was unable to bring it up.
Thanks again for your imput.
