Enjoyable set Mitesh! #5 is my favorite. Very interesting and pleasing image. Good thing you got a dump of snow. Made for a good backdrop to your pictures, and that one in particular.
Thanks for your kind words, Ken, and I'm glad you liked #5!

This is a great group of shots. The eagles in Alaska are amazing. Number four is my favorite though all are very good. Were these taken outside of Haines? - Barry
Thanks, Barry. Yes, these were all shot in Haines, AK.

I have always really enjoyed your work Mitesh, and this is a wonderful series my friend.
The detail you capture in your close-up images continue to be among the very best, and #1 proves this once again.
The "fighting" images of 4 and 8 are very cool to see... well done.
#9 is a terrific profile with a wonderful BG, I also like #10 a lot... I know it's difficult, but my only suggestion is to coax a bit more detail in the snow of 3, 10, and 14 to give some more depth to the images.
I love that you have included some wider views in this set. You have an EXCELLENT eye for composition in these wider views... 2, 5, and 7 are really beautiful my friend. One of the best compliments I ever received was "Kirk your image is a window into nature." These three images are exactly that Mitesh, they are beautiful windows into the nature of Alaska and it's wildlife.
Excellent work and a genuine pleasure to view, I enjoyed the entire set.
#2 #5 #7 #9 are really special but I am partial to the big comps you did, I like the environment in these
I could see #3 with less at the top perhaps
#1 is sweet, a little on the light side for me, I think there is more detail to be had in the eye if it were a bit darker?
Scrap fights are really great, nice work on the action, nice work in the conditions you were in too!
WOW! Very nice set! I just got back from a short trip to the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complex. It is a little late in the season but I did get several eagle images but mostly portraiture shoots not of the action like you have. Next year I think I'll go in late Jan, early Feb when the population of eagles is higher.

An extra nice set Mitesh. The portrait stands out as well as the action shots. LOts of other goodies too. I'd like to see 2 converted to b&w ~ Ron
Thanks, Ronny, and a good idea on the possible B/W conversion.

Very nice set. I tend to favor the somewhat unique 'birdscape' shots. I like the context of the cold, harsh landscape the eagles live in; they make a great story.
Thanks for posting.
Thank you very much! I think it would be fun to go to back to Haines with just a 24-70 and a 100-400. There are a lot of creative possibilities for unique shots.

These are all great Mitesh but I find #13 to be particularly good. It captures strength, power and solitude so well.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that specific image, Cam! I have to agree with your observations .

Your work is always among the best Mitesh and these are no exception. Excellent work and very well presented. I did get a chuckle out of the gull in 4. Looks like he may get the fish!

Thanks, Tim! Always look forward to your thoughts as you've helped me improve as much as anyone else has!
I'd like to see 2 converted to b&w ~ Ron
