    Default Bald Eagle

    This bald eagle had just caught her fish when a brave osprey started harassing her. And here the eagle turns back to check on the osprey... The BG is a bit too crowded but I liked the pose, the wing position, the talons, and the small fish...

    Shot with Sony A1 with 200-600mm, @600mm, f/6.3, 1/2500", ISO 2000, -0.3 EV, handheld, processed in C1P+PS

    Nice pose and spotlight effect, a bit too small to view properly...

    Thanks Dan...In regards to the image size, I am curious what workflow do you guys use when posting on this forum? This particular image is 1200px on the long end. If I use any larger when exporting my .tiff to .jpg, in many cases (including this image), the file size seems to exceed the max limit on this board, unless I force additional compression by further sliding down the jpg quality or using something like JPEGmini and the like.

    Agree too small. You need to use save for web option at least 1920 pixels wide.

    Nice shot. To expand, use Export/Save for Web Legacy and set image size of the long side as Arash suggests.
    Click on the pancakes upper right and optimize to files size, I use 595kb.
    Also click embed color profile.

    Nice action, good pose. The prey item is a good bonus - but I am sure the eagle would have wished for a larger fish. I see some masking artefacts between the wingtip and tail feathers. I agree with you on the BG, and good idea to try to blur it, but more refinement needed to get between those tougher-to-get areas. A fun encounter for sure.
