I found this immature eagle in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley. I really liked the scraggly tree and the eagle's over the shoulder look. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2015.5) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

8 commentsExcellent capture and a nice composition that has raised several opinions on the processing choices. The background, perch and subject all work extremely well together but I do agree it feels a bit flat. My choice to change that would be a trip thru Topaz Clarity to see where it takes you. As far as cropping, I'm a big fan of a square format and it works well here but does feel a little centered since the subject is looking left, I find the suggestions for anything other than a little off the right and top confusing. As presented the cropping will work really well for a magazine cover or advertising with nice space available for copy.
Well done . . .
