What we call home!

A pair of these beautiful birds from Katmai NP, Alaska.
I thought of trying an "antique" print look for the canvas print that I want out of it.
I look forward to the inputs from you fine folks

Canon 7D, Aperture Priority, f/6.3, Sigma 50-500mm @ 500mm, shutter at 1/5000 s.

Works for me. Great expressions!

Shreyas - welcome to OOTB! Beautiful image and nicely textured. Did you use Pixel Bender - I like the effect on the feathers. I might darken the top wing just a very tiny bit - it's fading a little into the texture. Beautiful work - I hope we see lots more

I like the antique look and the texture and colors.

Shreyas, this image has so many strong elements...great poses and expressions by the eagles; strong compositional lines; beautiful processing that reminds me of a hand-tinted photograph...nice job! Welcome to OOTB!

Nicely captured and composed image, Shreyas. Love the poses and texture to feathers. The aged, tinted, treatment with texture and fading is so well done. A wall hanger for sure! Excellent processing!

[Indranil Sircar]

Beautiful composition, Shreyas. Wonderful pose and treatment. I think Cheryl makes a good point regarding the wing. Excellent work!

[Shreyas Mantri]

Thanks for all your kind comments!
@ Cheryl and Indranil, yes I did use pixel bender and the look on the top wing was part of the vignetting that I intentionally opted for. Makes it look like a part of the "page", I think!

Shreyas, I like the aged look and the vignette. Nice job with the filter too. It always helps to start off with a great original capture as you did here.
