D1x, 600f4, 2.0x, iso 400, f8, 1/640, cropped from horizontal.

I like this action but think the image is a bit soft (I don't know if this is due to technique or from shooting wide open with the teleconverter). I also wish I had left a little more room at the bottom. Comments and critiques are always welcome.

Jetty, I agree with your own critque. It is a little soft and a little dark. Getting them both calling is a big plus.

Jerry,

I agree with your self critique. Was you lens "weighed down" to prevent motion?

Jim
Enjoy viewing

I would like better if bird's eyes were looking more toward camera

I agree with your own critique -- the impressive thing is that didn't you say you get these guys in your Backyard?

Good self critique. There may also be a slight color cast, you might want to sample the whites to see.

Were these birds in your backyard? That would be so neat!

This is very nice overall but is in need of some simple PS work to adjust the tones and brightness to where it should be. There looks to be a lot of detail here.

I really love how you caught them both calling. I'm seeing the color cast as well. I'm still envious of your opportunity with these eagles. :)

Jerry, with your permission I would like to re-post the image with some PS adjustments. I will try and tell you what I did with as much detail as I can, if time permits. ;) I believe this could be of some value to you.
