Good series, Peter. I like the third one the best as the eagle is coming towards the viewer and more of the fish is visible. Can you raise the shadows on the face a bit and bring more light on the eye?

3

Nice series, Peter. The second and third are my favorites. I think the second is the sharpest and has the best light, but the third has more impact. I agree with Allan that raising the shadows on the face would improve that third one a lot.

4

Wonderful!! For me, the last one is the most dramatic.
