Hi Linda, Ok with the help of my husband I decided on #5. He said you can't beat that shot. There are several that I really love but since you wanted us to pick one I'll go with #5.
They are all great.
Hope you win.

Sue

Hi Linda--my favorite photos for a competition are #1 and #5--for their lighting, composition and clarity of image. They are all beautiful to see--thanks!

Mornin' Linda

I tried my best to think like a judge so I ruled out ones where the sky is white cause I think they might too. That took me down to 1, 5, 6, 13, 22 and 24. I love some of the juvie shots but something tells me an adult is going to have a better shot. I kept them all and then ran them as a slideshow and the one that stood out was 13 on each pass it did. It has everything an eagle should be, beautiful, fierce, a good hunter and ready to protect what belongs to it. It’s my pic by a country mile. By the looks of the different picks from us we aren’t going to be much help

Best of luck to you this year! You've worked hard and deserve the win

I would rather spend my life close to the birds than wishing I had wings

Linda, I think the one I like best is #5. It has the wing span & blue sky as well as the tree. I think adult eagles will do better than the juveniles because lots of people don't recognize the juvies as eagles since they don't have the white head. I love #18, but don'tthink it would judge very well. It's a hard choice because they are all GREAT. Good luck

Linda - I've narrowed my favorites down to 6 so far. #2, #3, #12, #19, #20, #22. I'll think on it for another day and pick from those. It is a really hard choice to pick just one. :blink:
