    Default Eagle Pair

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Recently, I posted a vertical image of an eagle. Here is the shot that I extracted that from. The original capture was unbalanced, so I added a bit of canvas up to and also to the left side as viewed. This one is my fav as it shows a bit of habitat and I find the look on the perched eagle comical.

    Thanks for looking!

    You can tell that I've had a long week at the computer. "Eagle Pair" :)

    What a beautiful pair of Ealges!! BTW, I fixed the title for you. I love the tension in the composition, and the left-hand eagle and tree beautifully fill in that space to make the comp work. The clouds add some interest to the sky. I thought the pose looked familiar, thanks for explaining where it that previous image came from, and good call on the canvas extension.

    Amazing shot. I loved the earlier post, but this one is unusual and makes for a great comp. Nice to get both birds sharp.

    Wonderful image, Grace. Both birds shown nicely, the wispy clouds add interest to the background. Thank you for sharing.

    I like this one but must admit that the first image is the one for me!
    The clouds in the BG really make this image special. Great that both birds are in focus.
    Excellent PP,
    Gail

    Beautifully exposed. Great wide open wing position on the flying bird. Everything fully in focus. Love it! My only wish is that the bird was flying towards the tree i.e into the picture, but then of course we would only have the back view.

    Beautiful shot, this one would have been first choice for me. Love the stern Eagle look on both, the comp is about perfect...

    Nice to see where the other frame imulated from. I thought it was a take off shot because of the hanging legs but this settles that. This one looks real nice on it's own and I like the other birds pose and look. Two for the price of one! Nice work Grace.
