Very sharp, nice composition, and title. Not enough feather detail in the lower portion of the shot. I gave you an 8

Tack sharp, incredible pose and great DOF for isolating the subject. Really impressive.

This was a tough shot. I can tell by that perfect focus and powerful bokeh. 8.

I can see this with a yellow border around it & the words National Geographic there too. The timing & DOF are just amazing. 10. I just cant fault it.

Intense, can't say I've ever seen an eagle image such as this. Great capture...

He clearly doesn't want his picture taken. The focus is perfect for me. The framing is what prevents me from marking his higher. I fell it's a bit awkward to have him in the bottom of the frame like that. If you were going for a centered composition, he needs to be up considerably higher so that his eyes arrest the center of the frame. I think a square crop would work nicely here. 5, just-married

Do you ever wonder if perhaps despite way their face is shaped, they are actually bent double laughing? Oddly I could see that. Great catch either way.

Looks like the dragonfly is smiling.
