Hi Harry,
details, POV, focus, low golden lighting etc are all perfect, but it's the timing that makes this an exceptional shot. You are setting a very high standard.

Hi Harry,
Alweer zo'n super foto. De interactie tussen de volwassen adelaar ne het jong is prachtig. Ik ben vooral erg gescharmeerd van het warme licht. Het maakt de kleuren toch wel stukken mooier en de schaduwen zacht. Scherpte en compositie zijn weer super. Al had ik de linker vleugel van de volwassen vogel ook graag scherp gezien. Maar goed, da's dan erg veel gevraagd.
Groeten,
Niek

This picture cries out for a caption contest. Your title of "Intimidation" is perfect. If you would enter it, I'm sure this would be a contest winner.

This is very impressive Harry! As I can understand they were not from the same family? I like this action shot a lot that show us perfectly the strong temperament of those majestic birds. Thanks for sharing this great moment.

Wonderful light - you're right! Great poses captured with superb clarity! Though I doubt the title a little - looks to me as if the young demands feeding... ;)

To have got a shot of one bird in their respective poses would have been brilliant - but to get both!! Great detail and light too.

Hello Harry,

It is so difficult to find a picture from your gallery to comment on! Your wildlife gallery is one of the best I've seen on TN. I've chosen this one for the reasons explained below.

Composition:

Composition could not have been done better. It is simple, with no distracting objects and well distributed empty space. The background is perfect to isolate the eagles. What makes it so special? It's the action of the birds and the unrepeatable moment when it was taken. Great job!

Colors:

The colors are natural ad well rendered in the soft morning light. The white balance was also well adjusted to show the warm color tones.

Contrast:

Excellent contrast in the foreground! It defines better the great details in the foreground. Also, note the well distribution of contrast between foreground and background.

Exposure:

The light was very well controlled! You exposed the scene perfectly to preserve the details in both dark and white plumage. The early morning light created soft shadows that don't hide the details.

Focus:

The accurate focus on the birds rendered sharp details throughout the subjects. DOF wasn't so much of a concern since the background was the plain blue sky.

As I said before, an absolutely amazing picture! The frame is also appropriate for this shot. Thank you for sharing!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie

This is really well taken Harry - you managed to capture both birds with interesting postures, and I like the interaction between them.
Maybe the immature bird was begging for food, but either way the adult doesn't look too impressed!
I'm amazed how close you managed to get to these birds - even with the 70-200 and teleconverter you can't have been very far away.
The smudgy defocused clouds are a slight distraction, but not enough to worry about.
This is an excellent shot Harry, well done.

Cheers,
Ben

Nice interaction between the adult and the young. Immature Bald eagles are really impressive...they are so big...; you can actually see this very good in your excellent image as you can compare it to the mature one..
Outstanding decisive moment and wonderful double portrait!

This is a wonderful action shot with beautiful morning light. I think the babies get spoiled and expect to be fed even when they are about the same size as parents. I saw a Raven youngster, as large as mom, badger the heck out of the parent until it was fed something. It was quite rough. Another spoiled teenager with an attitude. : )

TFS a beautiful shot.
