Stunning image! The dark background really brings out the warm light on the eagle.

super portrait, Marco. really nice. I assumed it was a captive bird before I clicked on it. my only wish is for a little more detail in the darks of the plumage.

I like the effect of darkening the bg, Marco. Beautiful light on the white head. :toast:

Truly stunning! The detail in the eye is wonderful and the dark background sets off the subject perfectly.
