    Have spent the last few rainy days going through old and new files and processing. Found this BE landing which I liked and thought I would share.

    C & C always welcomed and much appreciated.

    It is a great landing shot Marina. Exposure looks great.
    I see a bit of halo on the left wing.

    Marina:

    Excellent landing flare, love the details in the underwings, the shadow of the one foot on tail, intense stare, sharpness, comp.

    Always fun to find a gem as you go back through images.

    Cheers

    Hi Marina, timing these approach /landing shots takes a lot of skill to get it right, and you have achieved it nicely here. Good overall detail throughout the eagle, and I do like the wing spread. Nicely placed in the frame too. Well captured.

    Where are the clouds? What...no dark gray overcast light ? I didn't think these eagles were ever seen in nice sunlight. Bravo!! Nicely done SM. I almost didn't recognize this eagle without the poor light not shinning on them. You know I really don't like you NOW.
