I was taking pictures of the waterfowl at my usual harbor location when these 2 eagles flew in to have a look.
Unfortunately, they chose to land on a rock covered with graffiti. I used a combination of content fill aware, patch tool and cloning to undo the graffitti.
I then selectively increased the exposure of the left eagle by .5 and the right eagle by .3 in Photoshop. Added 5% canvas on left.
The scene was quite dark because it was right around sunset.
What is really cool about this scene is that the ducks did not fly away when these 2 arrived. They were swimming contentedly 5 feet below them. The eagles stayed for about 10 minutes and left with all ducks unharmed.
Also, you can see how much larger and darker the female is on the left.
I will post the original with this because I did so much PP ( in the interest of full disclosure and to keep me honest!)
Comments and critiques always learned from and appreciated with thanks,
