Hi dear friends :)
Bald Eagle vs. Golden Eagle this time. This could really happen in the wild nature, since the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a bird of prey found in North America and the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is one of the best known birds of prey in the Northern Hemisphere. Same Order - Falconiformes, same Family - Accipitridae, almost the same lenght (71-96 cm Bald.E vs. 66-100 cm Golden E.), wingspan (168-244 cm Bald E. vs. 150-240 cm Golden E.) and mass (3-6,3 kg Bald E. vs. 2,5-6,7 kg Golden E.). Althought not the same diet (the Bald Eagle's diet is opportunistic and varied, but most feed mainly on fish, while the Golden Eagle prey includes especially marmots, hares and mice).
So, which one do you like most?
I personally, admire and respect the both species :)

With this one, my Eagle series is at it's end :)
Hope you liked it.

Best regards,
Ioana

Hi Ioana.
2 good,sharp portraits with excellent detail.
Bottom right corner of the golden eagle,there is a small white spot.Maybe a quick one with the clone tool would cure this.
Regardless,excvellent work.

Hallo Ioana,
Das Ende? Aha wie jammer. Fabelhafter Bilder.
Excellent composition of these two ipressive eagles, so sharp, and wll captured. I think even a more tighter crop would improve the pictures even more(there's still some space left above the heads).
Anyway gans schöner Bilder!

Hello Ioana,
I prefer the Golden Eagle ... because of the background, which is beter / less distracting.
Both portraits are great, with good colors and detail ! Nice presentation and a good note.
greetings,
Joop!

Hi Ioana,
Excellent presentation of these two different species.
Very good colors and acuity. Very well done! Annie

Hello Ioana.
Indeed he looks very 'bald'. Perfectly captured and combined.
Imaging, me having one like this on my arm ?
Yes, without any chain, free as a bird so to speak, haha
Will post it much later as it was on Langkawi. (By now, just arrived on Penang).hihi

Coucou Ioana,
Très belle opposition, superbe qualité de portrait où les détails prennent toute leur dimension.
Juste une petite chose, l'écriture dans l'encadrement n'est pas très nette... cela vient peut être de mon écran ?
Bonne journée mon amie
