Bald eagle high ISO portrait

[arash_hazeghi]

This is another image from Vancouver area. This is an adult eagle posing for us. This image was made in very low light (it was early morning on an overcast day), the original scene was darker than what you see here. I hope you like it

A beautiful image Arash. The details on the eagle are splendid. Fantastic HA and pose. The colours on the BG blend really well with the subject. I love how the talons are wrapped around the top of the very nice and natural looking perch. Great work and thanks for sharing this.

Wow! Arash great detail, love the colors and superb detail. You have handled the high iso extremely well.

[Grace Scalzo]

Indeed, a real beauty. Love the colors, impressive details, and worn perch. Lovely.

Arash you always give us top quality this is no exception ,magnificent.

Majestic looking bird! Great detail and essentially no visible noise. Nice processing!

[Lyle Gruby]

Doug's right, I really do not see any noise your original exposure obviously helped you there (along with your further processing). Bird looks great but the perch and BG are almost as attractive.

Amazing IQ. Still stunned you can pull this out at ISO 6400. I just love the perch and its greens.

If anything (trying hard to find something), I might have tried to remove the small branch at the bottom/right of the perch.

Great-looking frame of this beautiful adult eagle. I especially like the perch in the background. No grain in the dark feathers at ISO 6400! Well done and great processing Buddy

Very nice Arash, good colors and pose. Maybe a tad too sharp for the web, but otherwise no nits.

[Joe Subolefsky]
