Fom yesterday's trip to Lake Mattamuskeet. The wind was really from the wrong direction to work the swans properly, but the eagles were somewhat cooperative. 40D, Bigma @ 420mm, f/8.0 iso 250, 1/1000, manual exposure mode. RAW conversion and cropping in ACR, selective sharpening on the bird in PS.
Excellent flight pose, love the wing up position, the angle, HA and the determination look. Good exposure with nice feather details. The eagle is kind of small, maybe a tighter crop if possible.
I tried to bring out more white details using linear burn technique. Lighter body was unintentional, more careful work should take care of that :p

Hi Bob,
I like the flight angle and capture with the raised wings. You have good details and good color rendition...Thanaboon covered it very nicely...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
