Male bald eagle in long light yesterday afternoon coming into a rather brisk head wind. The intended perch is still 3 feet below and blocked by some pine boughs so I created this as it was settling on the way down.
I like this a lot. Powerful pose and great exposure. No HA problem here as far as I'm concerned. He was clearly looking for his landing spot. HA gets too much press here.
Great shot. Wonderful light and colors. Perfect exposure and sharpness.
For me the HA is no problem here. I like the the bird looking down. Looks like he is checking if his feet are clean :)
The pose and the light really make this. A little detail is lost in the darkest areas but I cannot see how you could have exposed or processed it better. Did you have to darken the whites at all in pp or is this generally "as shot"?
