Eagle On Nest!

Gallery: AvianPosted March 22, 201397 views5 comments

I discovered a new eagle's nest last week. And I don't think anyone else knows about it. I was able to get some shots today. This is cropped to show the eagle itself. The original shows the depth of the nest. I probably should have cropped out the OOF branches at the top but was afraid of too much cropping.

Thanks for looking!

Chris, nice exposure on this eagle. If possible, I would suggest cloning out the OOF branches at the top, or cropping tighter. I do think they distract abit. Nice composition. Hope you can continue to record these eagles. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like the boss sitting up there so proud. Showing good details with the crop. It shows good natural habitat, so for me it works.

All the best Chris, looking forward to more from the new nest site.

How lucky to find such a nest and beautiful model. The lighting appears rather flat to me. Looking forward to your future images of this one!

Great find Christine, not often you can call one of these nests your own

Good work using the 2x ext on your zoom to get this one, I like it
