[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this photo in Maymont park which is located in Richmond VA.

These poor birds felt threatened by the crowd watching them. They escaped to the farthest corner of their cage. Their defensive posture caught my eye and I took this photo. I wish they very free, it is cruel to keep this birds in captivity.

Hi, Vahe. First of all these beautiful birds are Bald Eagles and not BOLD. They are called bald for the white feathers of the head. The picture is sharp but lacks DOF and the twig in the eye is distracting on the eagle on the left.

hi vahe,
nice attempt. sometimes the environment can be against you when trying to capture animals/birds in captivity.

i have completed a ws to try and give you what you were aiming for.

WELL try.
Sometimes it won't matter how we shot it just matter what we shot.
Here you have not only caught the eagles but also their fearful feelings.
The moment of togetherness, and the most I like the cage behind them, which is fulfilling the theme.

TFS,
Greetings from India,
