Hi James,

A superb capture of this eagle in a wonderful position. Excellent details - I love the wings and the white tail. The colors are beautiful and rich. The eagle shows off so well in that blue blue sky.

Hi James

Wow!!! this is just...wow!
Now that i'm thinking of it, i don't know why i never associated your name with in-flights...after this one, i won't make the mistake anymore, i'll tell you that!
This is a splendid shot of this magnificent eagle pictured on a perfect blue BG! The details and colors here are just impressive and the pose you managed to capture it in here is just...graceful!
There is one very small thing i would have been tempted to chance though: the amount of room in front of the eagle...but that's just nit picking ;)
Anyway, an outstanding image!

Bravo and TFS

hello James

AOUTCH ! what a sipuerb inflight shot of this sea-eagle,
excellent POV that show's us the excellent sharp details
of the eagles and eagles wings underparts, excellent contrast,
lovely blue sky, excellent density of the colours,

just one thing James and i just want to be more useful
than a critiquer, i love the vertical framing but the eagle
is too on the center of the image, i kno that is more easy to write
now than to shoot it in the action to leave more space in front
of the eagle, that can be in the PP of the photo too, too many times
is in my images editing that i do the framings because in my shots
the subjects are in the center of the image

TFS for this great shot James, soon i'll do a personnal theme
on the eagles and this image will go on it

I think you captured every single feather absolutely perfectly. Great panning work. It looks like you had some nice weather there in Japan. Haven't seen a blue sky like that for weeks and weeks.

Hi James, very excellent colour and detail seen on this shot of your Sea-eagle, and while providing great light on the shadow regions the highlights are still very well defined. The use of a portrait frame works well in this shot, accentuating that wing spread. Very nice.

Thanks, John

Wonderful shot of the sea-eagle. Do you think a litlle cloud as BG would make the shot more dramatic? Anyway, Overall shot is great.

Hi James.
What a superb shot in every aspect. What a fantastic sunlight and illumination of all image of the bird. Exposure and colour reproduction are spot on as well as the posture of the bird, its wingspread and composition of the image. My congratulations.

Hello James,
We have White-tailed Eagles here during the winter but it is very rare to be able to take a shot like this one. This in-flight of an adult is superb in every way showing fantastic plumage details from below and the turned head gives us a fine view of the beak and eyes.
Thanks for sharing this impressive image,
Ivan

Hi James

I thought I'd critique some of your older material and arrived at this one fabulous photo. Magic stuff. I could never get these in-flight shots sorted out like you and some of our other esteemed friends manage to do. Then I read what Asbed said about the space in front and imagined I could try my hand at a workshop just for the fun. See if you like it.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

PS. I was just again reminded at what a wealth of amazing postings you have done the last year and four months. You are definitely one of TrekNature's worthy contributors.
