Motif (high key): On The Rise

[Desmond Chan]

D300; 300 f2.8; ISO 200 f2.8 1/1000 sec. Manual exposure mode. Hand-held. No flash.

I think something is wrong with this juvenile bald eagle's feathers.

Looking forward to you critiques.

The birds molting Desmond !!! Love the high key image Lots of detail and appealing !!!!

[Katie Rupp]

It's very dramatic; I like it although if I were this eagle I would definitely NOT want my picture taken while molting!

[Doug Brown]

Really nice job with a challenging exposure here Desmond! Congrats!

[Julie Kenward]

Great high key image, Desmond! You composed it and exposed it beautifully!

[Desmond Chan]

Thanks for the encouragements, folks!

With feathers like that, I wonder if the eagle has to flap harder to fly :D

[Harold Davis]

i like the high key here. i dont think a blue sky would have been as good here. great job!! he may not look too good now, but i got a feeling that's gonna change soon!!

[Nonda Surratt]

Agree with everyone!! Super job Desmond!!!

[Kent Wilson]

Very nice, Desmond. I, too, like the white sky. And when you get to be my age, you're always molting! At least for this youngster, his looks will improve.
