The Imperial Eagle

[Kiran Poonacha]

I like the steppe like feel in the image and was lucky enough to have the might imperial in the frame.

spec: 1/1600, F 9, ISO 400

Canon 40D + 500mm + 1.4TC

Head angle, sharpness, and light all look good. I like the included habitat. Not sure what these birds look like in real life, but it seems like a saturation boost might help here. Is there is slight yellowish-green color cast?

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thank you for your valuable ssuggestions Doug Bhai, The bird pretty much looks like this.
As suggested I pushed up the sat and reduced the yellow and green. Hope it looks ok.

Thanks again,

Kiran

I like the pose, sharpness, light and inclusion of the habitat. The second version looks better although some of the highlights are slightly overexposed.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I prefer the repost's colours, and see no issue with the exposure. Awesome comp with the diagonal split between land and sky.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Awesome IQ as usual Kiran. loved the comp, sharpness and pose. This one is still on my wish list. hopefully some day I'll be able to see one.

excellent shot Kiran, love everything here

[Juan Aragonés]

Onether fantastic image Kiran. the bird is a bit centered in the image but the diagonal horizon helps to minimize the effect of "centering". The eagle´s eye and face expresion is sweet and light couldn´t be better. Very well done bhai:)

Where do you get these images, Kiran? I have been pestering you to take me along, but you have been avoiding me! ;)

[Stu Bowie]

Kiranbhai, I like the angle, together with the concentrated stare. The repost looks good, and good to see the grass not obscuring the eagle.

[Morkel Erasmus]

superb details and light Bhai - the repost rocks! HA is perfect with great detail in the eye

[Leandro Herrainz]

love this shot! this eagle is so beautifull, the light is soft, and the image really sharp!

[Kiran Poonacha]

Impressive species, perfect HA and lovely sharpness. Like the repost most. Another great raptor image, congratulations!

[Markus Jais]

I love those birds. They are spectacular in every way. Their population is recovering in some countries here in Europe.
Great shot with excellent light and sharpness. I like the angle and the habitat shown.
