Would kind of like to be able to crop tighter but this is already a significant crop. Plus, I've gotten fond of this composition after messing around with several variations.
And yes, he's headless. No wonder he dropped his fish.
PP - converted from RAW, straightened, cropped a lot, levels, increased contrast and saturation, shifted golds in water to blue, dodged fish, vignette, resized, sharpened, hand-sharpened fish and tail, added border. |

This is pretty much how most of my eagle shots look! Congrats on the top 10! |

Doh! Great texture in the water, love the depth the reflection provides. I also hope that my fav animal ever got dinner at some point. |

Interesting choice to have the eagle flying out of the frame. For this it works alright. |
