Nice to see you here Vincent. This guys looks like an Hieraaetus species (isn´t it?) The perch is terrific and I really like the strong contrast of the light coming from the low position of the sun. The pose of the bird and those incredible eyes facing the sun are the ice on the cake. Well done
Lovely composition, the shape of the dead tree is really amazing! I love side-lighting on dramatic subjects like raptors, it really accentuates their sleek lines
What a great tree... You had some nice low angle light here which saved you with the strong sidelight. Probably wouldn't have worked with the sun higher iin the sky. Well done...
Hi Axel,
Thanks for taking the time to work a bit on my image and repost it with more details in the shadows. Actually when I processed this image I also did this, but eventually decided to go for the version as I posted. But it is all a matter of personal preference and taste.;)
