Love all the long leg leading lines pointing toward the action. Wish you could have circled to the left and kept the large white OOF barn out of the background.

There's not a huge reference to the dr here - you could pick any topic cause they all start with a letter of the alphabet. The photo isn't that interesting either. I do like how the srong lines of the fence breaks up the foreground and background.

Compositionally, you have done well, I think, in all three pictures. The eagle's head fills the framely nicely, and "sits" in such a way as to give the viewer a "direction" to go once they've looked at the picture.

The series is also good as it seems to show a progression of the bird turning its head. Unfortunately, I think the smallness of the pictures is a bit of a detraction in that we can't see a lot of detail on the bird. Another possibility may have been to include different shots of the bird, instead of just the head, and arranged them in such a way that more detail could be shown. This may have also added to the "story" or interest of the shot as well.

Technically, the shots seem to have good exposure, focus, etc. There are enough shadows to give some depth to the shot, but they aren't harsh. The colors are subtle, but fitting.

Overall, I think it is a nice series of pictures, and really captures the intensity of the bird well.

If I need to further clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.
