Bald Eagle

Bald Eagle perched and calling out. It was nice to find one in a pine tree instead of a dead branch in below freezing weather. From my Florida trip.

Thanks for looking, comments & suggestions are always appreciated!

Great calling pose, Steve. Exposure looks excellent. The head has the look of being sharpened a bit too much to my eye.

Nice angle you got on the bird here - so often they are very high up. I like the included habitat and calling pose

A good capture of a Bald Eagle being a Bald Eagle. There's some kind of odd effect in the top of its head, creating a slick, detailess appearance. I'm not sure what caused it. It's especially noticeable in the large version.

Very nice pose and pleasing background for this Eagle, Steve. This is being very nitpicky, but I wonder if maybe you could selectively brighten the whites in the head a tad bit. Overall a very nice image.
