Bald Eagle and the Moon

[Dvir Barkay]

A Bald Eagle looks off in the distance, with the setting moon behind him. The quality is Jpeg 60 as the image file was big, so it looks a little bit jpegy to my eyes so hope its not too much of a problem.

I like this Dvir.
The artistic presentation is very nice. I agree about the Jpeg issues but I can see this would be lovely as a print.
Well seen and photographed,
Gail

I'm with Gail, I really like this. It looks as though the eagle is watching the moon! Well seen an executed.

Lovely image, I like the composition very much. Is your algorithm for saving for web set properly, I don't understand why image quality should be questionable??
E.g. is the sharpened and final jpeg for Save to Web 1200px at 72dpi to start with? If so select Optimise to file size (top right drop down list) there I select 390K so I do not exceed the max 400 for this web site. Sorry if you already know this.

Hi Dvir, I like these type of images, and Ive tried some myself. Its difficult to get both subject and moon in the frame if they are far apart, but have done well here.
