The Bald Eagle is such a majestic bird. There were 50-60 last weekend by dam 14 on the Mississippi and this is my favorite with the afternoon sun highlighting from underneath.
Nice light and sky - exp looks good to protect the highlights. Good detail under the lower wing but you may be able to pull a bit more from the upper one with Shadows/Highlights or a selective curves adjustment. Sharpening halos on the dark edges are a bit prominent but an impressive pose of an impressive bird.
Hi Dave, The repost is much less contrasty than the ORIG post which is a big improvement. I like the angled COMP and wish only that the head were turned a bit more towards us.
