Very nice dynamic image and fab sharpness. I am not sure about the o.o.f gulls, my eyes get drawn to them. Maybe worthwhile cloning them out?

Hi John

Fantastic pose, great light and I like the crop. I don't mind the oof gulls as it all adds to the scene but I can see why some would prefer not to see them!

Both look superb to me John, but if you are twisting my arm, i prefer the repost :smile:

Wonderful position captured, as is the light, and the hint of cloud in the bg rounds off the image to perfection for me :toast:

Hi John
Wonderful image and I definately prefer the repost. The nearer gull was just too intrusive.

Hello John
I think both are very impressive, to be honest, I don't find the OOF too obtrusive, I think they add to the 3D effect of the eagle.
Best wishes

Excellent shot John.
I was going to say the shot with the gulls in works well for me,which it does.
However having just seen your re-post I think I prefer that one now.

Very nice, I was going to say the oof Gulls never bothered me but the repost looks much better.
I had a look at your web site and the other images of the WT Eagles,superb, looked like a great trip.

Nice work.

This image was great before the crop, looks even better now though.
