Bald Eagle, sub-adult

Bald eagle, subadult
85% of full frame, Canon 500mmf4, 1.4x handheld, no flash, ISO 400, F8

I could have cloned out the branches at left but felt that they provided depth.

The details must look great at 100%. Exposure looks good, too. I wish for a bit more direct eye contact and am not sure about the OOF branches. I can see your point but I don't think they add interest. Having said that, I would be happy to have this in my files. :)

Maybe blur the oof branches on the left a little so that they are less pronounced, but still provide some depth? Just a thought.

Quite lovely, Jeff. I would have kept the branches too. I'm growing fond of branches as I grow older :)
