Snow Eagle

This shot was taken along the Mississippi River in Wisconsin. It was a late afternoon setting sun with reflection off the snow covered ground. The branch was unfortunate, but there was nothing I could do. Comments and critiques are welcome.

Jerry, nice light and the snow on the branch is a plus. The branch is unfortunate as you said but more importantly the image appears soft all the way around.

Congrats on capturing such a regal looking bird. I agree it does look a bit soft. Also, if you still have the RAW image, I'd try to dampen down on the contrast and see if you could get some detail out of the whites, and the dark on the bird's back.
