Hello everyone I have just recently joined NPN and thought I would post this pic taken this morning. Visited an eagles nest in a woodland I frequent and found a pair of eagles had returned and they were busy fixing the nest up. Last year they had two eaglets.

Fine detail in the feathers and good exposure.
sometimes when a bird is in this position, i'm able to get him to turn toward me with a call.
A bit tight at the bottom, but easily cloned in if needed.
Looking forward to more of your work!

Nice work.
Welcome.

I will add some canvas to the bottom of this pic. It was taken at my closest approach to the bird. I will work on some other pics taken before this when I was further back (less steep angle) and where I have eye contact with the bird and room below the tail feathers.
I am still relatively new to photography and still gravitate to the photo’s with the most bird in the frame.
