Fighting Eagles Awarded POTW Accolade

A stunning action image of two white-tailed eagles fighting has been awarded the Photo of the Week accolade this week. 

The image, by ePz member and wildlife photographer extraordinaire Jamie_MacArthur was chosen by the team to win the award and here's why we thought it deserved to win:

This is a sharp capture that fills the frame - something that's very difficult to achieve when photographing fast-moving bird of prey such as these. The image has been cropped well to keep the key part of the action in the shot - the talon of the bird on the right digging into the chest of the bird on the left. The mustard-yellow of the talons and beaks of these magnificent birds adds a pop of colour to the otherwise earthy brown and green tones of the photo.  

We love the intense look in both of the birds' eyes and the fact that a split second later this would have been a completely different image. Very well taken.

POTW winners currently receive a 32GB MicroSDHC card with SD adapter from Samsung. Take a look at all the images that have won the accolade in the Photo of the Week gallery.
