    Very nice hi key color silhouette. I like the mood of appparent first or last light you have set.

    I like the light and the mood but the upper right bugs me as does the (faint) mountain that intersects with the bird. There looks to be a big dust bunny below and slightly to the left of the bird but above that first branch.

    No wonder you did not want to get out of the car!!!

    Hi Fabs, I have to agree about the upper part of the frame being a little bit "distracting". I love the mood of the scene and the nice pink colored background. The trees looks really nice but the branches near the eagle seems to be a litle bit overprocessed (I prefer the darkest color of the trees in the botom of the frame).
    Muy buen ojo pra ver una excelente escena! :-)

    I like the mood and composition in this one. It really does look cold.

    Looks as though my excellent spoting and the precise positioning of the vehicle payed off :) I do see the dust spot but sure it's tough to see on a laptop screen. I like the hint of the mountain in the BG gives depth and perspective to the image......
