About the Image(s)

There is nothing better than seeing our majestic Bald Eagle flying overhead until you see a nest with an eaglet inside waiting to begin its life. I was watching this little one grow and just a month ago its little head was barely showing from the top of the nest. Now, it's testing his wings getting ready to fly and in a few weeks will be leaving. Taken in Central Florida with my Canon 80D, Canon100-400 lens at 400mm, f9, 1/1000, ISO 800.

I like the moment and how he seems to be looking back at you. I think that you could crop it to draw more attention to the subject and bring out some more details in the darker and lighter areas.   Posted: 11/06/2019 22:45:45

Thank you Art. I think you might be right and it could use a little more detail.   Posted: 11/23/2019 19:40:56



 
What a great opportunity to see the eagle grow and to be able to see his first testing of the wings. You've got him good and sharp. I like it, how he catches the sunlight in his feathers. I wouldn't crop the picture, because the spreaded wings need their space!   Posted: 11/08/2019 22:55:18

Marge a very nice catch, but personally I'd have chosen the other image. In any case I do not think that your image needs much to foul around. The composition looks good at it is because it gives the image more room on the left side since the raptor's flying in that direction. Maybe a little lightened of the plumage can help the chromatic effect. Well done!   Posted: 11/26/2019 04:22:04
