Steller Sea Eagle + Prey (Captive)

[John Harper]

Hi There

Had a chance to shoot some pictures of the female Stellers Sea Eagle that they have at the Hawk Conservancy Trust here in the UK.

Magnificent Raptor and you would not want to be on the wrong end of her beak if the trout is anything to go by.

HI Scott, Please see the "Great Shot Reminder" sticky at the top of the Avian Forum page. Thank you sir.

Hi John, Nice to see you here. I like the framing and that massive beak. The three toned BKGR with the two HORZ lines cutting the head are a problem... Perhaps getting higher might have helped... You did a good job with the light from the left; lightening the shaded parts of the face and chin would help.

Hi Art

Thanks for taking a look and the heads up on the background...... my usual problem of becoming too focused on the beak and and prey and forgetting the background..in the heat of the moment so too speak.

I'll have a look at the file over the Holiday and give it a rework based on your comments... Thanks again
