Eagle

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted March 30, 201395 views2 comments

I saw this one this afternoon. I watched it fly to the marshy area, set down and then take off and fly to the nest. It had both talons full of mud.

I cropped this quite a bit and then over contrasted and sharpened. It kind of looks like a painting. Once I saw the result, I knew I couldn't post it in Avian, so I thought I'd try it here.

It does look like a painting! I like the way the light is catching it's head & the white trunks & textured shadows in the BG.

I think this looks great as photo art with it's high contrast and lots of grain. It tells a nice story about the eagle flying through the trees. I do thin that cropping from the left to just past the "A" tells the same story but lets the trees have a stronger role.
