My name is Christina (you never would have guessed it, huh?) and I live in Magdeburg, Germany. It's the capitol of the Federal state Saxony-Anhalt and celebrated it's 1200th birthday in 2005. Well, I can tell you that I'm a bit younger than that and I hope it shows. Hehehe! BTW, the picture was taken in December 2005.
I've been a member of Renderosity since 1999 and I post on and off as time permits. In my gallery you'll find some old Bryce and Vue images as well as my new Vue and XenoDream images. I also invite you to visit my website http://teenabiz.de to have a look at all images I did, including a bunch of stereo images. I also offer some downloads.
Hugs,
Christina :)

Christina, this is an excellent picture and I do mean that, but the eagle's pose implies that he's about to attack the fish, but the fish has already been caught, you see. In reality, he would be recovering from the dive and taking off again, in which case his pose would be much different than his pose at the moment of attack. Oterwise, this is another excellent pic. The colors, the lighting, the background, and ESPECIALLY the water splashes---ALL excellent. I think only the eagle's pose need be worked on. But I'm giving you a "10" anyway, because regardless of the eagle's pose, I still think it's a gorgeous picture. :)

I miss a wave behind the water splash. Exept this I think too it is wonderful. The dust on the water and between the trees is a very good idea.

I think this is excellent regardless of the eagle's pose. :-) 10 from me too Christina - all of your work is superb!!!! - Sacred

To mjustmike: Thank you very much for your nice and helpful comment. Living in a big city in Germany I never saw an eagle catching a fish in real life. I've only seen it on TV. I'll keep your suggestions in mind to make it more lifelike in the future. :)
Christina
To Coherengus: You're right about the wave. Thanks for your suggestion and for your nice comment. :) To Sacred Rose: Awww! Thank you so much for your very kind words! Makes me very happy. :)

This is a fantastic picture. The nice thing about art is you don't have to follow the rules to get your message across. In my opinion the comments on the pose and wave are overstated. Do it the way you like!
Christina
Thanks a lot for your nice compliments! I'm very glad that you like it! I know that both suggestions were meant to be a help to improve my future images. :)

did you model the eagle yourself? great image
Christina
Thanks a lot for your nice words! :) The eagle is a model from Zygote. It's a bit pricey but very lifelike.

Well, I love the Eagle and the sea spray but the background trees are a bit too spikey. Comments from an Englishman !!!!!!!!!!!!
Christina
But....but....but these are American or Canadian trees and they are much more spikey than English trees. ;) Thanks a lot for your nice comment, Bill!

Without question, it is the best eagle getting his dinner I've seen. 10+
