White Tailed Eagle...and soon the snow is gone

[Roland Aalto]

Hi,

Been hiding in a camouflage tent this winter and spring to be able to get some shoots of the White Tailed Eagle. Time consuming and cold, but it eventually paid off.
This is the third season and i´m much more experienced, therefore it was well worth the effort...

Best regards / Roland

Roland:

A big welcome to BPN!

An imperious gaze, sharp. Well exposed.

The crop is a little too tight for my tastes. If you have it, I would give more room all the way around.

The bands are a bit distracting.

Looking forward to more from your cold adventure!

Cheers

Randy

Ahh thank u Randy, my first post...soo proud. I will absolutly consider the tight crop, can´t do to much about the bands though...

Welcome Roland! Very nice first post, with good sharpness and eye contact. I agree with Randy regarding a little more room all around the bird. It would have been nice to not have a strong shadow of the beak cast on the bird's neck.

Welcome to BPN, Roland, and congrats on your first pose. Do mind if I ask where are you from?

Terrific first post with good exposure and details. I agree with Randy and Doug that more room all around would lend itself to a more pleasing image b/c it would tell a better story. The bands look great to me. They add a little interest and color.

Looking forward to seeing more.
