That's a lot of bird filling that frame. Very nice but do I see a couple of dust spots on the sky?

Superb picture.
I'd probably brush over the spots.

Great shot. Fills the frame nicely. Great position within the frame.

I don't see any dark dust spots. The white spots are specular reflections from the surface of Okanagan Lake. I have now removed the white spots, thank you.

Do I understand that you were pointing down towards a lake?

That is correct. I was on a steep hill/cliff by the lake. The eagle's nest was on the same level as I was and the eagles were flying below me and fishing in the lake.

good job on the bird but the pattern in the water is sort of off putting. You might try working on the background to smooth some of the texture there

Amazed at your thinking - my thoughts on the background are exactly opposite to yours. I feel that it is just right.
Yes - we are all different. It would be interesting to read how others feel on this.
