*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
A great capture whose title fills the challenge brief.
Wow, from one eagle study straight to another of yours and an excellent capture it is too! I can see that eagles are indeed a favourite of yours and your perseverance has paid off well here you have a great action shot. I can understand your love of the birds but I wonder how many others here will share it certainly some will but not all which means the image on its own without your title will probably not fulfil the challenge brief therefore it is dependant upon your title.
With regards to the shot itself, you have a great panning shot that has captured good sharp detail of the bird particularly those talons, I wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of those! I'm no expert on eagles particularly bald eagles but I assume the colouring of the head is due to this being an immature bird? The wing shape is good but I would prefer to see some motion in the wingtips with a lower shutter speed but that's just me, I know most people here seem to like everything frozen with high shutter speeds. The other thing I would prefer is a little more room for the bird to fly into, your composition is good and with the available space gives a little more room for it but there's the problem for me, it is just too tightly cropped. The dark patch below him might be better if it were merged more into the surroundings but its a minor point.
All in all an excellent shot, I look forward to more eagles from you, Sid. |

| Love the picture. Can't feel the love, Wouldn't it be great if the first line was "It was love at first flight"? |
