Awesome looking bird. Hard to be this close to a Golden Eagle. The bird is a little bit big in the frame, would like to see more room all around. Loi

A really fine portrait of eagle Gerald. I'm amazed at how well you've dealt with the noise at that ISO and the clarity of colour from such late day light.

Thanks for your comments - Bob and Loi.
Loi, in most cases, I would agree about it being big in the the frame, but on this time around it was actually a "creative" choice - I wanted to have the bird big and filling the frame to emphasise the bulk and power of the bird - up-close and personal. Showing the bird in its broader environment was the task of other shots.
By the way, I have really enjoyed your series of Burrowing Owls - beautiful work.
Regards,
Gerald

nice shot, I like it being this close, would have been amazing if you could see a bit more of the fox or at least a more recognizable body part. The noise is still a problem, its there in the backround, and on the eagle. I did some more noise reduction, I tried the best to reduce the noise while not making the feathers look mushy, if I had the tiff, I am sure I could do better.

Hi Dvir,
Thanks very much for taking an interest and doing some NR work on the image. I can see that you certainly made a difference. I'll have to go back to my file and see if I can tweak a bit more out of it also. Much appreciated!
There was a part of a tree stump right in front of the fox - which was a bit of a shame. I want the image to get across the bulk, power and dominance of the Eagle and I think it works on that level.
Regards, Gerald
