Evening Eagle
by Brian Murphy
I was driving down the road near the river and spotted this eagle on a tree limb over the river. I did not have my tripod so I had to shoot hand held. Maybe this was just as well because the eagle became nervous and flew off soon. This was taken in late evening just before sunset. I did remove some distracting branches from the front and out of focus in the rear of the photo. The dark areas across the chest are shadows from tree limbs on an adjacent tree.
I like the late evening feel to the photo so I did not want to brighten it much. Too bad there isn't more of a background than just plain blue sky.

I have a lot to learn so comments are more than welcome.
Thank you for taking a look. Brian

2 commentsI will give it a try. I tend to be a bit heavy handed with saturation so I did not attempt much this time.
