Bald Eagle

Here's an image from this summer at Hood Canal, Washington. At this particular spot eagles fly in from feeding on spawning sculpin at low tide to perch in some tall Douglas Fir trees. This allows for some nice close up flight shots. This particular shot was taken in horizontal format but I clipped the wingtip on the bottom so I added some canvas there and cloned in the wingtip. I didn't add or crop any room on top. It's about 65% of the original image before adding the canvas.
