Eagle at the Memphis Zoo

Took a trip to the Memphis Zoo this summer and was very impressed with the quality of the exhibits and the health and beauty of the animals for a city zoo. Their big cat exhibit is amazing. I was impressed with the quality of the bald eagle given the size of the exhibit relative to what they're accustomed to.

Eric,
a neat portrait with a proud pose. If this were mine, I'd tone down the sunlit side. :toast:

Nice sharpness on the eagles head. The bit of OOF white behind it could be cloned out, to me it is distracting just a bit.

I like the composition and the angle of the light, Eric. :toast:
