A very fine shot that will clearly be hard to beat in this contest. Your timing is perfect and the image is well composed and exposed. Nice detail in the white plumage and great colors.

Very nice action shot. You caught the eagle a a strong moment in its flight. Broad wings spread and the tail fully open. The head, beak and eye are all sharply in focus.Good details. Nice color. The background is a little distracting but there isn't anything that you can do about that. Well done.

Great capture of this impressive Bald Eagle taking flight, Grace. I like the pose you caught - he looks quite menacing, his wings looking like a cloak, as he gets ready to swoop down to catch his prey. Very good lighting and focus showing excellent detail. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

    Thank you! I really liked how he had his head feathers pressed around his neck :)

So very cool. The angle of the shot of this eagle taking off is excellent. The clarity is excellent. The capture of the light is great. The image is well balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. Great eye and awesome work overall (clapping)

Very nice moment to capture. The focus is very clear. The composition is very nice, too. It looks very determined, so it must be after its meal. You were at the right place at the right time. Good job.

a fantastic stop action Grace and an unique opportunity that you didn't miss; I like his sharp look as if he already spotted a prey; great details and sharp focus;
