 This was a crop of a full body shot from the eagle on my neighbors roof. I didn’t like the roof tiles under his feet - felt inorganic. Then the head tilt and stare just begged to be cropped in (for me).

This was a 9 from me. Spectacular capture!! At first I wondered if it was a zoo shot, because it was so amazing. But then I decided it didn't matter. It tells such a story. Massive kudos for the fact it was a wild bird! And perfect crop!

This comment sure made me chuckle when I saw it . . . . Can’t do much about a bird’s head. LOL
