My most frequently photographed subjects - my bald eagle neighbors.
Sharpened just luminosity channel in lab mode, and I really like the results. Cropped off bright sky at top, and cloned out a distracting jutting log in lower left.
I know the water looks blown, but it was really that bright and I want to preserve the effect. This image is all about light for me - the rays descending from above, the reflection off the wing, and the bright water. And the birds' animation tells a story.

My kind of bird image. Fantastic! Great habitat, action and light. I don't know about the centered subject, but you were there and there may be a good reason for it. Very out of the box avian image.
