One from a session with Danny yesterday. I was repositioning myself when the bird decided to shake his booty so this is a grab shot. Ideally I would have liked to be slightly higher so to not have so much 'mush' but I was trying to cover the leg gear. I do like the posture and expression but am not sure about the amount of foreground blur. Would be very interested in your thoughts.

Thanks for looking and Danny for a good day. :wavey:

Eagle only.

HiDes
I feel this might have more impact as a vertical crop quite tight.
Not sure. Good anyway.
Cheers

Super capture of the bird in this pose.
I am not keen on the green mist effect across the lower half of the bird but I assume this is oof grass? so not alot you can do & some seem to like it alot, just a personal thing. Still a fine looking image of this great bird.
