Bald Eagle on its way back to its nest

This eagle is well in focus and well lit. It is an amazing action shot but the bird is practically in the middle of the picture. I think that I would have tried to get it more to the right hand side to show that it was flying towards something perhaps.
This is a great picture nevertheless so good luck with it

This is one fine capture of this bald eagle in flight as he gets read to land. The yellow colors stand out and add to the beauty. this demonstrates the power of this bird as he glides by. Good luck in the contest. Ray

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and full composition captures a good flying moment. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

The eagle with its golden feathers and claws, as well as feathers toward the front is beautiful. The head is almost like it is made of gold as is a small spray of wings. The sky and a few limbs, pine needles on branches fairly good. Best wishes in the contest.

    Thank you Glena. Thank you for the wonderful review and great rating. This made my day. Been a very rough day today.

    Welcome, friend. This capture is gorgeous. I know what you mean, those days happen. My brother I painted and presented on FAR, along with his wife, passed from one life to another this past Wednesday.

Excellent!
Your nicely-presented photograph of this popular Raptor as it 'heads for home' looks great in my opinion!
It's certainly a 'Good Show' of a picture!

Interesting presentation. I like the action of this bald eagle and you have captured an unusual angle. His clear eye is well done but I'm not sure I agree with his golden light against the gray background, the contradiction of lighting is a bit puzzling to the eye (at least mine). I admire the amount of work this took however. Best wishes for the contest.

    I had updated it as the background was more brighter then this one. I guess the update does not show yet. Thank you so much

Not sure what tweaks you did for the scene but it has a very strong artistic feel. The tight DOF give a strong sharp look at the eagle. The shallow focal plane continues the feeling of an almost 3D feel to the flight. Lighting is very interesting and well captured.
