Hi Scott
I'm not familiar with this one. Tack sharp with excellent catchlight. He does look a bit obstreperous.

Hi Scott
Excellent capture of a beautiful graceful bird. There is one that I often see, not far from my home, regularly sitting on a specific telephone pole. Someday I'm going to shoot it (obviously with the camera).
Great composition, natural colours, sharp details on the DOF, excellent BG, and spot-on exposure.
Very well done and TFS.

Hi, Scott
This is a fine portrait of this unusual little eagle. It's quite common in parts of Africa, and is often seen in villages hunting rats and other small animals. When fully adult, it is a very striking black and white, so yours is still a youngster. Thanks for posting this - it's a while since I have seen one.
Best wishes, Nigel.

Very majestic and proud bird, Scott.
Nature, I guess, has ordained this creature to be "nasty".
Superb image with fantastic sharpness, colours and clarity.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Scott,
An unusual looking bird, I've never even heard of it before, let alone seen one, so it's a first for me :-) A nice shot, very good detail and colours. I think this is a hard bird to photograph because of the head plumage. A great shot I think!
Cheers,
Adrian

I have never even heard of such an eagle, Scott, so thanks for posting it.
His bright yellow eye is so clear and the details around the face are quite sharp.
It is a great POV for showing off that crest.

Scott,
This bird seemed a little herky-jerky. He seemed more out of his element than any other bird there that day. Twigy the owl was the best behaved.....eh?
I like how you have slowed him down so I can see him. The wind may have played a part in his restlessness. I couldn't get acceptable light, you did. Crystal-clear shot with a lot of focus on the eyes. Great shot, it's a thing of beauty!

Hi Scott,
Great photo of this eagle, with great detail in the feather coat. B/g and DOF are perfect and excellent use of the limited light. I also like the version in the WS.

Hi Scott,
I would place him in America with the Comanches in the back of the mind.
Proud animal!
Remark...I should have cloned or cropped the little white stroke down under.
