(c) Golden Eagle & Rain
Hello All,

first of all my apologies for not commenting/posting in a while but personal troubles prevented me. Sadly this also ruined my trip to Texel for this month.

So here is another image from Scotland & the Golden Eagle, we had some great Scottish weather:wink: , but luckily we also had some sun (and at the same time!) giving me this wonderfull scene!

Thank you all for looking!

Tech: Sony a700, 300mm f2.8, 1/640 @ iso 200

Hi Jorne, great shot. The only nit I can think of is your name in the picture. It is a little to big imo.

Thanks Tom, I agree about the name, Had my computer die on me so I was experimenting with new copyrights and I went a little overboard on this one :wink:

Nice capture Jorne, rather atmospheric and well exposed :wavey:

My only nit would be the very obvious jesses.

I like it Jorne but would like to see the head area a touch lighter (unless it is just this works monitor, sadly my computer crashed on Thursday and is in for repair).

Love the rich warm colour and the rain is a real welcome bonus to the scene.
Brightness looks fine at this end.
Only slight nits are the visible jesses, as already mentioned, and perhaps a slight change in angle would be beneficial, so as to avoid that dark vertical band in the background coinciding with the birds head position.
