One more eagle pic
Just one more and then I will get to some Spring flowers. I got this one in late Feb. THe photo is cropped about a third to take out some foreground lims that had created a blur in upper righthand corner and I took out a limb that was mid left coming up and out from the one he is setting on. I slipped somewhere and dropped down to 96k on file size but am posting anyway. Oly 510, 70-300 at 300, manual focus, F10 1/640 ISO 100

This is a great shot. I might crop a little more of the limb off and I would redo the limb clone. It looks like you can still see it in the phot. I would also clone out the dark spot in the lower left corner.

Nice shot Kendall, I definitely agree on the crop and cloning on this one, this will be really sharp with that extra little work !!

Hey you guys are definatley right. I couldn't see it on the other computer may be the monitor I have been editing on a different one than I have hooked to the web. This should help, and I will try to catch that in the future.
