Aside from the pose in the first one that seems to tell us something about the pair, I also like the even lighting better. It could use a little added contrast. Nice work!!!

I like 2 better. Both are great shots! For your calender printing, if you could pull his head out of the shadow a tad it would be even better.

Thanks for taking the time to view and comment,WD!

The first one. The second is nice, but the male's head seems to be in a shadow.

Yep, his head is in the shadow. Thanks, Gene!

Have been watching this pair of Bald Eagles for 3 years now and hopefully for many more. They mate for life and can live for 30 years. The female is on the right (she is 25% larger and has a slightly deeper beak). The eagle is hands down my favorite bird as it is the symbol for our nation and my Marine Corps! PLEASE help me choose which shot to add to our calendar for next year....

Both are excellent shots but I'd go with #1

Both are great. I like the pose in #1 but would like it a tad lighter.

Number 1. In this shot they look like a team, in the second he looks subservient.

Excellent quality pics. Either one would be great. Tuff choice, I guess 1.

Both excellent shots. I prefer the first one. Can be brightened in post to resemble the second.

I agree with David Martin on this, especially about the brightening part.

The opposing inward-looking head shots really catch the viewer's eye and lead it around and around. A good thing!
