Master of the Skies w/REPOST

Gallery: AvianPosted March 25, 2010142 views19 comments

Have you ever had one of those days where you just kept getting shot after shot? Oppotunity after opportunity? I was so blessed with a day like that today. Took a sunrise drive to Ft DeSoto and was graced by this still somewhat juvenile master first thing in the morning. He didn't let me down.He flew around looking for fish for some good 20 or so frames. It made my day.

I like the open beak and a really sharp flight shot Cheryl, maybe a little more room on bottom if you have it and less on top.

Beautiful Cheryl. Agree with Nate about a bit more room on the bottom, but either way great work!

OK heres all the room there was. Is it enough without having to add canvas? Is the crop better? It's almost fuu frame minus some from the right and top Thanks

Nice flight shot, Cheryl. Very crisp and well exposed. I like the intent look of the eagle and the wing position.

Congratulations on your image. I love the position of the right wing and the detail in the feathers. I think the repost is better, not so much because you increase space at the bottom, but because you reduce the space on the top.
Cheers, Jose

Nice shot. IMO, there is no need to add canvas. Comp looks good to me.

Great shot, Cheryl

I don't see a substantial difference between the two posts.

Great flight shot, Cheryl. Very sharp with a great pose. This would certainly have made my day, too.

Very nice flight shot, Cheryl. I slightly prefer the second post, but of course you could always add a bit more canvas at the bottom if so inclined. Nice work!
