Eagle season winding down
I got this one a week ago. The season seems to be ending there are still plenty around but they are spread out and harder to catch up to. Well had a pretty good one and I have had a lot of fun and met a lot of people while watching them. I think I have improved while in the process, hopefully that will continue.
Olympus E510 600mm eq 1/640 F8 ISO 400 This one had some branches in the FG I took them out and tried to do a good job. Will work on my PP skills.

Yes, on my desktop monitor I can see where I took out the branches I am sorry about that. I will find out how to fix the problem. If it is resolution or what.

There's potential here, but I think you already nailed it about the cloning issues - it was the first thing I noticed. I'd also see if you could recover a bit in the highlights on the head from your RAW file (it probably will require a blend). I'm curious what it looked like before the editing - I can see where a branch must have been in front of one of the wings. Stick with it Kendall!

I think this would look great if cleaned up (not just the artifacts from the original cloning, but also including the cloning out of the branches protruding from the LRC.
