Practicing the proud pose

[Mike Tracy]

Two 10 week old bald eagles looking for dad with dinner.

Suggestions on the crop welcomed. I was wondering if I should have included all of the juvi on the left.

Real nice. I can't say for sure on the inclusion of the whole bird. I'm having trouble visualizing the rest of the frame. That said, it looks good to me as is on the width. Maybe a touch off the top?

You might also want to convert it to the sRGB profile, right now it is in Adobe RGB and looks really washed out (in Firefox) when compared to what it looks like in Photoshop or Safari (which is color managed).

Thanks for the suggestion Jim. I converted it and tried it with a repost. Don't know if the change is evident. It seemed to add artifacts in the blue sky. No time to further edit.

Taking off in a few for Ottawa to find some Snowys.

Have fun with the owls.

They don't need to practice a lot it seems. :) The angle is a bit steep but I like the poses. The BG could look a bit smoother.
