Mitesh,
This might be the best collection of bald eagle shots I have seen. I am a sucker for simple lines and the stark contrast between an animal's form against a sterile winter landscape.
This set is inspired work!

Regards, Bruce

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

Kirk, thank you for sharing your thoughts, and for your most generous compliments! You're one of the photographers whose work I look to here on FM for inspiration, so I am truly appreciative of your observations and comments. Thanks again, buddy

A very impressive set of images, 14 is my favourite but they are all great, I can feel the cold, even though I am sitting here in Africa.

Thank you, Jim! I am not particularly accustomed to such weather myself, but I can tell you that it was so much fun being there photographing the eagles, that I almost didn't notice the cold

Wondered where and when?


Thanks, Dan, you are most welcome! These were all taken in Haines, Alaska in November 2015.

#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!

Great set Mitesh!
Karl


Hi Karl! Thanks for the comments, and especially the suggestions for #1 and #3! As always, your keen eye gives me reason to think a little bit more about an image .

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.
Gale


Thank you, Mr. Gale, and glad you were able to get some images during your recent trip!

Yes, it certainly was cold, but it was more fun than cold!

Fine work in difficult environment, mitesh

Thank you, Jarmo! I have begun contemplating what types of images I'd like to create on my next trip there. So many possibilities!

Thanks a lot, Bruce! Next trip up there, I would like to explore the area a bit more and concentrate more on "bird-scapes". There was very little to no snow to be seen when I arrived in Haines, except at the highest elevations. It was amazing to watch the snow line come down the mountains, literally hour by hour each day until the skies opened up one day and covered everything. After that, the compositional opportunities were just amazing!

Congrats on the win.
