The light for this shot was none to good, I have tried to process it but I am somewhat limited when it comes to understanding the processes to "correct" harsh light.

I found the large view rather impressive with the wing span and the eagle's stare.

As I understand it, Ken, there's only so much you can do about harsh light, which is too bad because I really like the pose and the look opf the Eagle. Maybe you can get Keith Bauer or one of the other processing gurus to take a crack at it and then explain what they did.

Nice capture, but it has a green cast to it. It's a little dark also. I would work with this one a bit because it has the potential to be a really special image.

Ken, I took a shot at a few adjustments. Hope that's okay. I changed the white balance, the exposure and de-saturated the greens a bit.
