Bald Eagle in Whiteout

[Joe Ford]

Shot this bird today during a brief lull in a snow storm. Thought about cloning out the snow flakes, but left them as I thought it showed the environment better.

C&C appreciated
Thanks for looking

Love the pose, intense look and high key BG, Joe. I find the warm tone a bit incongruous with the snow but must admit to being in a heat wave rather than a snow storm at present. How does this neutralised version look to you?

I like the white balance in the repost better. The details look good and I would have preferred if the near wing were higher up or down.
