Over the past year or so I've been enjoying all the great eagle pics on FM. Most of the time I'm busy taking pics of my four daughters, but I couldn't resist any longer. Ten minutes from my house on the Iowa River there are several small roller dams where the eagles gather. I've been out a couple times now. Had better light this morning. Trying to work on my BIF skills and having to crop quite a bit, but having lots of fun. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Birdie, I appreciate it. As a newbie to wildlife photography I can't wait to get back out there and give it another try.

Chris:

Your first three images are posted too large. The first is oof and noisy. 2-4 are better image quality.

#3 and 4 are the best of your series. When in doubt, DON'T CROP LARGE.

TFS and apply my suggestion and any others that may be given.

Thanks Ted. I hadn't noticed your critiques until I took a look on my desktop. I had been viewing them on a my tablet...I have to remember I can't make up for my lack of reach by over cropping. I will try to upload the images at the correct size.

Resize your first three and repost. I have and I am sure many here have made the same mistake. Oh what a great picture and try to present as a wham bamb thank you mame. It takes time. Keep 'em coming.
