Great color and composition.

Great shot!  It amazes me they are able to swallow something that size.

Nice capture.  Great color and detail with excellent lighting.

Great portrait with excellent detail.

great nature shot.  Excellent capture.

another delightful shot here.  Everything here is spot on.  Well done.

great shot.  Excellent light, color and detail on the bird while maintaining the impact of the snowy ground and bg!

I re-worked this a bit and decided to re-post. Recently purchased

Lightroom 3. Thoughts for improvements? Thanks.

I stopped to take another look and I see you posted that you are near Breckendale.  I have been meaning t get up there for this magnificent assembly of my favorite bird.  I am just North of Seattle, so it's a bit of a drive but not so far that it's impossible.  If you don't mind my asking, what is the best time of year and viewing location for the closest action?  Thanks and I envy your accessibility to these marvelous raptors.

Based on the distance and motion of the eagle, I think you did very well to catch the detail that you have. A simple suggestion to get this particular shot to pop more would be to crop out a good part of the empty space on the right. When I viewed it larger, I was quite surprised to see how clear the photo is. Well done!

I love eagles and this is easily one of the finest shots I have seen. Everything is spot on. Love it.

Great shot Miguel. Focus is excellent, colors are great.

No offense to Scott, but I like your version better. To me it looks more natural. Nice shot and thanks for sharing.

Great capture of a unique place in my home town.  Well done.

Excellent capture.  Great lighting, detail and dof.

Comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

This is a beauty indeed. Great detail and colors. I think it would be good to get the subject out of dead center by giving a little more space in front and less in back. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the input and encouragement. Glad you like it.

thanks for the input. I don't do much b&w, but this seemed like it would work. I will take a shot at the suggested improvements. Your critiques are much appreciated.

Great shot of the oystercatcher here.  Excellent job of capturing the detail in the black and white, not to mention the focus on a bird in flight.  Great eye contact.
