Greetings from the Critique Club

Welcome to DPC. I see this is only your third entry, and I hope to see many more from you. If you have the chance to see these eagles frequently, you know you have a very special gift. Please, please take lots more pictures of these birds.

Okay, to work. First, I'm going to apologize for some of your commenters. There are people who are much more thoughtful about their remarks; you just didn't happen to get them this time.

Now: You have the two eagles and I think you were going for the pair as symmetry. I think you almost made it, but because there was so much more in the picture, a viewer would get confused and try to see other patterns. With subject matter like this, I think it's important to try to find a setting that will show them off with the dignity they deserve.

Then, Your birds are not tack-sharp and they should be, since they are the main attraction. One way to up your chances of getting sharp images is to bracket your shots, and take lots of them.

In any event, you have the chance to go out and get more pics of these birds, and for sure, I hope to see more of your work on DPC.

I wish this shot were more crispy and clear, looks like it was cropped heavily or you used a poor lens along with a bad converter.

The name is even misspelled.

did you know this was "symmetry"?

Not really symmetrical; also kind of busy - the birds are the subject, yet both are partly obscured by electrical stuff.

The image is kinda soft. Although it does not feature true symetry, I think it would have done good if the screaming eagle had been tack sharp. Great catch light in the eye.
