Great initial impact. Photo is perfectly composed, with excellent clarity and color. Close up is amazing in it's detail. Great little story about the eagle that was saved.

    Thank you very much! I thought it was so interesting that scientists and engineers are able to make a prosthetic beak with a 3D printer. Amazing what human kind can do :)
Comment from Minnie Kaye


I love your story. I kind of recall reading about it.
This is a magnificent shot.
That golden eye is perfect.
The beak is awesome, you can tell it could do some serious damage, but that tongue is the cutest thing ever.
You have outdone yourself with this one.
Amazing presentation. I loved viewing this one.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

The one advantage of zoos (for photographers anyway) is how close they can get to wild animals. Like your Mt. Lion I imagine this guy was in a zoo.

Interesting take here Grace....and interesting notes about the other Eagle btw. Color is wonderful and focus is very good. It's well exposed and the dark background you used or added is perfect for showing that great strong beak.

Nice set of images.

This does deserve a 6 or better. I love the angle that you shot him from. It looks as if he is cheering the Eagles on at the super bowl. Love it. The details are phenomenal. This has an overall WOW from me.

Oh wow... capture fabulous!!! Love the angle to the shot - offers up such a sassy bit of Eagle perfection. I have yet to see such a wonderful moment and will probably never capture it with such clarity. Love the look in that eye and that attitude! Wonderful. Thanks for sharing!!!
