Totally agree...........

I could not say anything less than has already been said. I just love these birds, they are so sleek looking and so intelligent. Their eyes are so captivating.

A million thanks. A real joy to view.

Those piercing eyes really grab you.

Love how the Little Eagle stands out from the background. Also colors of subject and background work extremely well together.

Great pix....hard to choose a favourite...but # 2 is a standout. The portrait with 'shoulders' and alert, 'questioning' look is exceptional.

The bokeh makes the eagle 'pop' . I see you used the 55-300 lens. I have one and think it is an underrated lens. I've got some very sharp pictures from this 'consumer' lens.

Brilliant photos! Thanks for sharing.

Great shots, but I'm getting a strong magenta cast to both images, I just quickly tweaked the WB and got these, what do you think?

That said... I don't actually know what colours these birds actually are, so perhaps I'd best shut my mouth and apologise now.

I can see what you mean but I consider the colours are accurate for the lighting conditions - heavy shade with mottled side/backlighting through foliage. Your treatment more or less shows how they would look in brighter conditions. Thanks for the comments!

Wow is all I gotta say about that very cool.

Stunning! I think I prefer the original colors, at least in the first.
