Last Bald Eagle

Gallery: AvianPosted July 1, 2016118 views4 comments

At least for awhile. This one wasn't large enough in the frame to make a tight crop sensible and I liked the bg, so I decided to keep the eagle small in the frame to provide what I hope is a nice sense of space.

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600mm, hand held, f/8, 1/3200, iso 640 manual exposure. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Full frame. Taken at 7:25 AM on June 15th.

Comments and criticisms are appreciated.

Thanks,

A good flight shot of the eagle with a nice BG. I do find the position of the near wing to be a bit awkward. Also would like to see some detail in the eagles head. Hard to get with all of the dark areas. Thanks for sharing.

A nice, moody shot, Dennis. The sense of space is very nicely captured.
