Wow, 2 eagles fighting, what a capture! Shame you couldn't get closer.

A great capture, it's a shame that the focus is not sharp

Way to much noise, and that might be from cropping. But what an awesome thing to see. I'm envious of you for witnessing this.

if this was in focus and cropped tighter it would be a killer shot!

That has got to be a wonderous sight to behold in person! Good catch of a tough shot. A bit more clarity/focus would be ideal, but I'm still impressed with getting the shot in the first place.

Awesome timing, makes you wish you had one of those eight thousand dollar lenses doesn't it?

An amazing capture, very good. So hard to get a clear focus when they are moving. This must have been amazing to have seen.

The pose is awesome, but the lack of focus just kills it.

Not sharp enough

Great action shot although I would have liked to see a touch more sharpness of the two birds (though I appreciate that in getting the shot off it would have been hard to fine tune the focus)

Your camera settings must have been all wrong. This image totally lacks focus.

I'll give you a 5 for the awesome moment, but you know as well as I that your equipment really let you down.
