Eagle Sketch

[Dave Woeller]

Here's a rework of an eagle shot using Gus Halgrens' PS sketch technique. Gus's techinique was posted a while back and was fun to experiment with.
Original shot info = 40D, 100-400mm @ 400, AV mode, Evaluative metering, 1/500 sec @ f 5.6, ev -2/3. Eagle courtesy of the Philadelphia Zoo.

Dave, Love it, can you tone down the black around the beak a little? Don't you just love the roof of the Eagles mouth-

[Julie Kenward]

I agree with Denise...bring that beak down to the same level as the rest of the bird and you've got a winner.

[Dave Woeller]

Thanks Denise and Julie. I see what you mean and I'll see what I can do with it. I appreciate the thoughts.
