This was worth waiting for Basri, great Capture! Both Eagles are tack sharp and on a cool perch. Really nice light and the subtle layered background Is very complimentary! Welcome Back!

Excellent catch! Great poses, perch, and BG.
I'm on the laptop, so perhaps not accurate, but the whites look largely blown here. If indeed they are, a program like Nik's Viveza will tone them down and recover structure.
Wonderful image that should get the best processing possible.

Basri,
Very rare to get a pose like this!
Wonderfully captured, on my monitor it looks to have a blue cast, but it might just be my eyes

One of the best African Fish Eagle captures I've see. One is great, two is spectacular. I also love the layered background. Both eagles are sharp. I would add just a little on top and bottom, as it looks a tiny bit tight to me. I also agree with Ken about the blue cast. I took the liberty of addressing that. See what you think.

That is a fantastic shot, Basri. Perfect light, perspective and BG.
Cheers,
Hisham.

Jerry's suggestion is a good one - much improved over the original.
Congrats on a fine WP!
