This young eagle had just finished it`s bath, when I made this image.

This is a very unusual and interesting image, Edward and I like it a lot. The comp, exposure, and sharpness are right on. The overall sogginess of the bird makes this image very appealing to me. :)

Well, amazing! Love the close view, plenty of detail, nice light, and great exposure, to me it feels like it has to much NR. Just that.
Congratulations!

Thanks for your comments !

Unusual portrait indeed. Like the stare :-)
Only wished for more light on the bird. A bit of flash would have helped.
A great capture nonetheless.

Flash may be a good idea for those who like using it, but I don`t. Besides, the eagle was nearly 100 fett away, so using a flash would be a waste of time.
