Nice job, Mike. I like the choice to keep them fairly small in the frame. Excellent composition.

Very nice look at this pair, Mike. I really like the way that you composed this shot. It gives the image depth.

Nice light on the eagles and you captured some nice eye contact. An alternate crop going vertical losing some of the OOF limbs on the left side of the frame and some of the vacant sky on the right might also work?

This is very well composed and the light is wonderful. I love the shape of the tree and also the textures and colors of the bark. I also like the poses of the Eagles.

Hi Mike,

Keeping these birds small in the frame brings out the size of that perch--an impressive snag for sure. The framing of the image is ideal as well. Well done..........................Jim
