Bald Eagle

[Edward Fisher]

I found this Bald Eagle perched in a tree above it`s nest yesterday morning.
I was looking down on the bird and the blue background is water.




ISO 160, f7.1 @ 1/800 sec, -2EV, Canon 7D, 500mm L lens, tripod.

Edward,

There is a great feeling about this image. I think it is due to the combination of sharp bird, great exposure and fabulous BG. I am looking for something that I would change in the image but can't find any - others with more experience probably will - maybe the way the wings are bring held - if they were tight against the body it might be better. I just wish it was one of mine.

I like the look-back pose, sharpness and BG. The image looks a bit dark overall and I would try to get more details in the blacks.

Edward:

Very nice overall, sharp, nice perch and background.

I do agree with Axel about the overall exposure. I pushed the exposure up .65 in ACR. The brightest whites are now at 246 or so, and I see more detail in the darker areas.

Just an option.

Cheers

Randy
