Super shot Monte.

Always a challange the towards flight ( talking from my swift experiene;) - not for you obviously...Compliments Monte!

Another great wildlife moment, Monte

Nicely captured and amazing sharpness ...stopped motion! I am partial to the spread wing span and the eagle looks as if there is eye contact with the lens. All nicely presented.

Warmest regards, Pamela 

Excellent captured, beautiful sharp, colors and details,

Best regards

Love the extended talons and eye contact. 

That wingspan and those talons are impressive and a bit intimidating.  I love the color.  Avoiding heavily saturating the sky is a good idea.

Spectacular, both the eagle and your capture... Mike

Monte,

   Wow....amazing capture with wonderful colors & sharpness. Thanks for sharing.  Take care, Patsy

A really beautiful shot, very nicely composed too, Monte!

I'm so sorry I did not see this majestic image much sooner Monte...absolutely beautiful....wonderful capture for you to add to your already 'brimming' Portfolio.  I could attempt to go into detiail on its technical merits...but I think many have already covered this area.  It's the man behind the lens that is adept at releasing that shutter at just the right moment...congrats...it doesn't get much better than this!!! most sincerely, Gail
