New to Forums...New to DSLR...Eagles

[Poopstain]

I just came across this forum and am looking for some input on my latest photos. I've had my DSLR for about 6 months and have slowly been adding a few lenses and also trying to figure out how to improve my skills.

This weekend I went and took a few eagle pictures and am looking for some criticism. I know I'm an amateur, but really just want some advice. One area I definitely need some direction in is post processing, I'm definitely a starter in that area. I currently use CS2 for my post processing.

Here are my pics.

Pic 1 - Eagle Swooping in to land

I tried to do a little better job in Photoshop using Curves...I also reduced the amount of sharpening...

Pic #2 - Eagle Landing

Pic #3 - Eagle Eyeing

Thanks for taking the time to look at my photos.

They are some magnificent creatures.

These look good to me. The only thing I would like better is if there was a higher depth of field to make the eagle "pop" more. Oh, and a closeup of the face would be cool too.
