Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the free study

A great action shot that is I suspect the result of many hours dedication as opposed to simply being in the right place at the right time. These are always going to be very appealing, certainly to me anyway. I like that you have chosen not use too high a shutter speed and left some inference of motion in his wingtips that works really well for me. My only two preferences would be for a little less blueness of the water, I think it would have worked better in its natural state. The other thing is that it is a little too tightly cropped, it would be preferable to have room for the bird to fly into. The execution of the shot itself is excellent and you deserve every credit for accuracy and timing.

A respectable score, well done and, thank you for your entry.

There are Sea Eagles around where I live and yet I've yet to see one catch a fish, let alone photo it. Nice capture.

Beautiful bird and such an amazing thing to watch. Really would have preferred a bit different crop so there was more room in front of the eagle. The photograph is also a little soft, which is unfortunate.
