Bald Eagle

[Jim Crosswell]

This was taken at Fort Desoto in February. I cloned out some branches in the BG and a couple through the body. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Very nice, Jim. He looks very regal. Your post processing looks great.

Hi Jim,
I am impressed with your PP'ing!
I didn't know there were BE at Fort Desoto!
Very nice regal pose. Good IQ
I see a little line extending from the branch just to left of feathers that needs fixing I think,

Nicely done, good dof and I agree with Grace, a very regal pose.

TFS,

Good eye Gail! I saw the line after but it was too late to change it in the original post. The BE was on the north road near the end. Thanks for the comments.

Beautiful Jim! Nice light, well exposed, good sharpness and good work in PP.

Terrific light, details and exposure, Jim. The IQ is excellent. Nicely done.

That's one majestic looking bird, all the techs look perfect, blue sky is extra nice as is the light in the eye...not sure on the fine twigs on the right.

Hi Jim, lovely feather detail, well exposed, and this angle shows off the feet and talons nicely. Good choice of comp too.

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.
