Wow! Cyber 10....I wish I had an extra star for you.
Your central composition is strong. A gorgeous close up of the Golden Eagle. I like how well your captured the eye.....which just draws us into this extraordinary photography. Your beautiful natural lighting and incredible details all adding to the beauty of this shot. Your diffused background soft yet bright compliments your work. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing. One of my favorites!

A beautiful bird and a very nice portrait. I like the tight cropping and very nice details especially in the eye. The background is very nice and the colors are excellent.

Eileen,
A beautiful profile picture of this magestic Golden Eagle that I've seen soaring over the Grampian mountains in Scotland & Glenveigh Estate in Co. Donegal, in the north west of Ireland. It's golden eye watching you, it's plumage shining in the light. The dappled light and shade making the perfect backdrop. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan
