Eagle Portrait

Gallery: AvianPosted April 11, 20183,248 views7 comments

This is one that I meant to post a while back then left for Florida and forgot about it. So here it is. It's about 60% FF. I cloned out some sticks poking into the frame and applied selective sharpening to the Eagle. I like all the brown tones in the image. Our Eagle numbers were way down this winter and I didn't get a lot keeper images...maybe next year.

Thanks for looking, comments & suggestions are always appreciated!

Nice detail and a good portrait pose, Steve. I'm particularly fond of the beak in this one.

Nice light and detail. The beak is great. I like the pose of the background works well.

I like all the shading and profile. The ruffled feathers adds a defining different touch to otherwise a classic pose. The eye and beak definitely are the selling points.
