Further to some feedback about my previous Osprey post, I have edited another one taken at the same location. processed in acr and ps. Distracting twigs removed, and reduced contrast as per previous suggestions. I do think it looks better.
Hi Paul .... looks better compared to the previous image of the eagle . And I like that you have the eagle on eye level !!!!
Think you can afford a bit more selective tonal depth in the subject and the perch , just my take .

Paul, I like the image but I agree pull down some luminosity, I think this will be a beauty! I have had a look at the jpeg but I think going back to the raw file you could make a powerful image.
Serious stare, Paul! And I;m not gonna mess with those feet - great view of those talons! The lighting was tough here. Brown on bird looks a bit washed out, and there's no direct light anywhere on the subject.
Thanks Dorian. My last post had too much contrast, so with this one I reduced it. I did re-edit the raw file and removed the "washed out look"...and it does look better, but I'm still ok with this one as is.
