Eagles

Hi all. This is a really cropped photo of a pair of eagles I saw today. I see that posting on here, it is a bit on the dark side and could probably use some more sharpening. I fear that I'll over sharpen it.

This is the original cropped version. About 50% cropped actually. Someone had asked to see it close-up cropped and I didn't think it would translate well. Thoughts? I think I like the wider angle better.

Thanks!

I like the cropped version best, but do think it is too dark overall. IMHO you should crop out the immature eagle as it does not look sharp. Nice to get the mature eagle with out too much in the way. Sometimes it is hard to get a clear shot with a bunch of small branches in the way, as I recently found out! Thanks for sharing.

I like the calling pose of the adult. If you shot this in raw, try to increase the exposure or temp to get the whites back to white. How nice to see two! Sharon
