Bald Eagle

[Matt K.]

Took some shots of a Bald Eagle at the Birds of Prey place ... not sure which one is better ... this one




or that one ...




What do you think?

Nice clean shots matt

Both are beautiful!

[Iguanasan]

Both are great! The second one stands out just a smidge more only because of the sunlight in his eye.

[Bambi]

both are great, but I'm with Iggy, re #2.
nice.

Both are VERY strong - love em

I think I'll disagree here - Although the eye is better in shot 2 and I'm usually all about the eye, the extra (sharp) details in the bird's face and profile in shot one give it the edge imho. Whichever one u choose though...good choice

I'm going for shot 1 also. Excellent shots both!

Have to say #1 here also for reasons already said. More fine detail in the birds feathers, and I like the profile shot for such a majestic creature also.
P.S.( Only one nitpick- You should have reached right in there and flicked that spec off just above the eye though.)

Thanks all, much appreciated. And HBG (can I shorten yer name that way?)

It's a frigging BIRTH mark ....
