Hallo Andrea
Thanks for sharing this majestic Martial Eagle with us. It is a sheer delight to look at this bird, especially from below, showing its stomach and back feathers in all its glory and splendour. This photo is jam packed with awesome detail. It is indeed a very striking image, that is so natural looking. A good viewpoint and composition which I enjoyed a lot to look at. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards
Anna
