Great detail in all and nice compositions. You might want to make them brighter.

Thanks. It was cloudy and raining, I brightened a little but thought I'd try to keep a little of the actual condition. What is your take on keeping it true to the conditions vs looking better?
I'll probably be printing the last one and would brighten for that.

Yes, the third one will make a great print. I would lift the shadows a bit to bring out a bit more detail in the Eagle. Should be a beautiful print.

Really nice sequence, the 3rd will make a nice print for sure!
As for keeping the integrity of the original lighting... meh, this isn't a newspaper or a shot of a legally challenged event. So in my opinion, do whatever brings your creative vision to life from when you took the shot.
I shoot with heavy exposure compensation most of the time in bright Florida sun with birds with any white on them... if you saw my RAW files, you'd think I was shooting at night,
, so I boost exposure or shadows or both a lot until it looks "right". Now, if "right" to you means as you saw it, then there you go.

Thanks all. I will adjust the brightness up a little.
Just happened to be on target and taking photos when he took off. Not a lot of time to prepare but it worked out better than I thought. Agree, the third image should print up nicely!

Super shots! Good for you going out in the rain, you can get some very unique shots under those conditions and you nailed them.
