Majestic bird, I prefer some of the other shots on your blog, but all are excellent :toast:

Ron, I must admit I prefer couple of your Greylags & BB Gulls shots to the WTS Eagles, as majestic as they are. But they are all very good.

Regards,

Des

I concur with the above comments, although a very nice and majestic bird well caught.

The positioning is just right with the eye peeping out from the wing. I'm looking at this on a very poor woeks monitor Ron so that could be the thing but I feel it could possibly do with some lifting in the shadow area under the wing as it seems to be a bit heavy and once my eye clocked that it tends to keep drawing back to it.

Incredibly sharp Ron and very close to you given the 300mm lens used. My only view of these when on Mull was through binoculars.

I agree that the far under wing would benefit from lightening.

Well done.

Austin

Like it, Ron. Always difficult to do these justice in flight heading away but you've pulled it off with this. :toast:
