I'm still enthralled with shooting the Eagle/Osprey conflict over air space.
Sony A700, 70-400G @400mm, f8, 1/800, iso800, ev +1.3, HH
Image was rotated 90 right, added canvas to right, cropped square, 85% of FF
PPin PSE8, levels, sharpen, cloned out highlights on top of head and beak.
Side note: There are 3 eaglets in this nest that I have been observing. I am told that they should fledge in the next 6 - 8 weeks. I hope to get some images of the fledglings.

Reason: forgot to add image
Very nice under shot of an eagle, love the flight pose with good wing spread, nice HA and eye contact. Nice job with the cloning of highlight around the head. The tip of the top wing looks a bit funny, maybe over sharpen too much around that area. I might try to lighten the head and eye a bit.
Lucky you to get a chance at the fledglings image :D

Excellent comment, particularly the head !! Will make a difference
Good basic exposure giving you under wing detail, doing well with these birds and will be fun with the chicks !! Also look for the parents bringing food for the kids ... amazing the things they drag up to the nest!!!
Hi Peter, I also like the overall capture. Nice wing position and placement within the frame. Detail is good but I also would like the head lightened just a bit....
Hi Peter -doing well - not much else to say but echo the above comments.
Id be tempted to coax some more detail out with some fine sharpening.
Well Done !!
