Wet grunge eagle

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted April 3, 2016295 views6 comments

I took this image of an eagle in the top of a dead cypress tree as it sat drip drying after a day of steady rain. As I edited it with LR the idea of a grunge look came to mind and I added an On1 filter to complete this effect.
It was taken with a Canon 7d MkII, 100-400 II @ 400, iso 250, f/5.6, 1/2000, steadied by my truck window. The location was Gulfport, Ms. in a stand of dead cypress.
I would appreciate comments, opinions, or suggestions.

Very creative. I like the over all effect.

the effect works well with the wet eagle; I like the pose and the bedraggled look to the bird

Hey Anthony,
Very cool, this turned out great, I could see this on the back of the jackets of a Biker Gang.
Congratulations on the WP . . . devil

I can hear the eagle's thoughts. Story telling shot! Nice.
