Superb quality but as I think is so frequently done in the non - challenging captive model environment that eliminates any tequirement for creativity that it's a cliche . Pointless and cruel incarceration of a magnicent creature .

Hello Jan, This is one of the best image of this bird i have seen, you have managed it very well to capture the details of the bird and also the half closed nictitating membrane, this is simply superb

Hi Jan..lighting really compliments this majestic bird portraiture. I like the strong confident composition and the tight cropping. The half closing of the inner eyelid is quite unusual see and is interesting to see. The focus is sharp on the eyes and head. There is a little bit of blown or reflective highlight on the beak. Well done.

I like this eagle portrait that posed like a portrait of a gentlemen Jan, light is controlled very well and sharpness is achieved well on the eagle head. But I wish that the noises at the background could be fixed.

Cheers.........Edwin
