Grabbed this one on the drive home from a otherwise non event full day of shooting when I noticed two baldies devouring a dead Snow goose two hundred yards away in a field. Made it in camera range just after the last course.
Hi Phil photographing eagles is always a special treat !!! Not sure about the exp comp at zero? Could open up the shadows in PS a bit but is always best to nail in camera. Might want to check the histogram. Great being alert for the action !!!!
I like the wing position and sharpness. Wish the bird was flying towards you. While I agree with Al about the benefits of + EC when photographing eagles against the sky, you've got reasonable detail and a lack of noise in the darks. The sky color looks kind of funny on my monitor, and so do the whites on the eagle's head; it's a greenish cast. I would crop a little off the top and bottom also. Here's a repost in which I also tried to bring out a little more detail in the darks.
