A great moment! I might have bumped up the contrast a bit and maybe would have cropped in a little tighter to bring the bear's head out a little more, but this is a very cool shot.

Bird captures are really tough. Between lugging a gigantic lens around and their flighty nature, it's difficult to get the composition one wants. You got a bit of action here with the screech, but I feel like the moment the eagle lighted or landed from its perch would have had a far stronger impact, which is crucial to Free Studies. Nice detail on the bird though.

I wish for this image to not have so much smoothness as well as white space. A closer tighter crop with more clarity of the feathers and dramatic appeal the natural texture would give.

I'll tell you the weirdest thing... I fantasized, then later on DREAMT about shooting an eagle like YOU HAVE DONE!!!!! The only difference is that I was shooting from the other angle (sort of the opposite from yours) and my erotic fantasy involved the biggest northern pike known to mankind (but that's not very likely). I kid you not, this is more or less the exact photo I made in my mind... This one gets a fav. I'm afraid!

I like how the light hits the tree in the center. I applaud you for looking at interesting crops, however in this instance it does not work for me. The extra sky at top and bottom is uniteresting and I'd like to see more of the tree on the left.
