    I captured this almost a year ago. I came across this eagle (not a true eagle) by accident one morning as it circled a lake in front of me. So I quickly grabbed a couple of images. About 70% of the original. Cloned a few OOF treetops underneath.

    30D, 300mm f/4L IS USM + 1.4x, ISO 400, f/6.3, 1/3200th, handheld.

    A beautiful subject and the crop looks great. Good exposure control and sharpness. Well done.

    Akos:

    Very nice exposure, balancing the whites and blacks here. I also like the banked pose, head angle and sharpness.

    I wish I could see a bit more detail in the far wing. Perhaps a bit of shadow recovery, without making it look artificial.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Details and eye contact look great, another vote for some more details in the far wing if that is possible.

    Ákos, I like this image as is. Naturally the far wing is dark under this kind of situation ;) No problem with it from my side :) Sky color lovely.

    Good job with exposure and crisp presentation, also like the eye contact.

    Nice one Akos - like the eye contact. Your shot really conveys the majesty of this species as it soars past.

    cheers Rob

    Hi,
    Good capture here.

    It looks like difficult lighting here but you did well.

    As others have suggested some detail in dark wind could be brought out (there is some hidden). Dup. Layer>Smart Filter>S&H to 30 -35%/ Paint areas besides dark wing with mask activated and black brush.
    On the other hand and given the situation another poster is right and it is fine as is too.

    Thanks for the suggestions and comments. I will have a look at the master file and see what I can extract from the far wing.
