Eagle

Taken in Spain while on holiday at a wildlife park.



I was pleased with this as the sun was very bright and the whites seem to be ok.

Very Pleased! I think I'd be over the moon....It's a cracking shot and even the eye shines and the whole of the head is pin sharp.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I am pleased with this shot it is one of my better ones.

Chris P,
I love the shots of the raptors you have here although I do find the Owl a little tight in the frame for me personally but a great shot none the less.

Hi Jackie. I'm not sure whether I like the owl shot or not.

IMO it works at larger sizes because you can see a lot of detail but it doesn't look as good when seen smaller than A4 size.

Hi Chris,

Yes I can appreciate that it would look better in an A4 print and I now look at it in a different light.Just a shame I can't see the A4 size.It is missing the catch light in the eyes to make it stand out more,but apart from that it is nice and sharp and you should be pleased with it.

Jackie
