Excellent work, Tom. Beautifully done. And I hope you too have a wonderful Christmas, and a New Year that is much, much better than this past year.

Awesome shot, Bill! The separation from the background really makes for a 3D looking image.

Lovely close up Mike

Thank you for your kind comment, Neal.

Great portrait, and the eyes have it. Interesting that the eagle (and some other birds too) can direct their eyes forward like that to achieve binocular vision.

Many thanks, Ed...and yes that ability to direct their eyes forward is an amazing adaptation to spot game at great distances.
