Hi All

Taken about a month ago at a Falconry in the UK.

I received some good feedback from the European Forum but would love any further comments or suggestions.

:)

Beautiful pose and background. Where your signature comes out across the background and gets light I find distracting. Perhaps make it smaller and keep it tucked into the dark area. This has nothing to do with the image, just the presentation.

Its just my personnel preference but I've found that most of my portraits of captive Bald Eagles look better when I concentrate on the head. I would try cropping just above the wing. I would also like to see a catchlight in the eye.

I think this one works pretty well. I like how the bird is holding it's wing - not a traditional pose so to speak. Nice feather detail as well.

Very nice and sharp and exposure looks good on my laptop, a possible crop just to above your name also works for me.
