eagle and contest

[Giovanni Frescura]

Hello
I would lie use this shoot for a photographic contest ..but I am not sure that it is ok.
I like it and dinamic situation but I have some trouble abut the color of the sea.
What you think about and which are your tips?
Thanks

Great capture, Giovanni. Great action and I really love the energy and dynamism conveyed by those curved primaries. I don't mind the colours - the greyish sea pushes the warmer tones of the plumage forward in the image. I would be tempted to include more of the splash if you have it, some more space on the left and remove a little from the bottom. Best of luck for the contest.

Thats a pretty nice shot Giovanni. The color does look off, I think its heavy on the magenta on the eagle and water. Try backing of the Magenta is in P/s. and cool the white balance to bring more blue into the water. Good Luck

I like Tony's critique and suggestions. Very dynamic image indeed. What is the prey, did you get a good look at it?

[Grace Scalzo]

It's an interesting image with great action. I'm fine with the colors. The sharpening looks odd to me, and I would like to see more on the bird and less on the sea.

Great action captured here. I would take some off of the bottom, add a little to right and top if you have it. If you would like to make the color of the water a little more pleasing, I would select the bird only, inverse and do a color balance adjustment on just the water at about a +10 on the blue, or somewhere in that range. See what you think.

Hey Giovanni:
Sorry, my spelling error, I meant " backing off the magenta" or slightly reducing the magenta/purple. This a terrific photo. You have some good advice from sveral talented photographers. Take your time processing, I am sure you will get it how you like it. Its. a worthy photo.
