Young Eagle Stare

Gallery: AvianPosted February 9, 201396 views5 comments

I liked the way this guy looked over his shoulder at me. Eagles can turn their head around almost 360 degrees. Very Linda Blairish. I also liked the feather detail. Unfortunately, I clipped the end of the tail off. Comments and critiques welcome.

Great headshot in the large photo. I wonder how he would look cropped to show only his head since you lost a little tail.

what a great look it's giving you, Jerry, I like it a lot. the clipped tail is a shame--perhaps you have it in another shot and could do a photomerge/composite in photoshop? nice sharpness on the bird.

Nice look back you're getting from him Jerry! Wish it wasn't so tight on the chopped off tail, but great look and pose you still managed.

Great pose, Jerry, and well captured. Too bad about the tail.

The tail end absence is okay - we look at the eyes anyway!!
