Nice shot and I like your crop. I might have used the leaves around and above the eagle to give it a frame but am guessing I'd like your treatment better. It does look a bit flat to my eye. I played with the whites and contrast to punch it up a bit. Nice work!   Posted: 07/10/2024 19:42:29

The intense stare and expression of this Eagle hold my attention. I like the perspective. The bird seems to flow into up and into the background, and then my eyes meet those eyes. The image works well in B&W. May you heal well and fast!

I really am a great admirer of B&W done well as this is. The stark sky pulls they eye to the Bird's stare, here is the drama, what have they focused on? The bird is crisp, sharp, and the image well composed. the image is powerful, striking, and to the prey there is danger. For me it is the entire story. Well done I would change nothing.

Bald eagles are great subjects. I like this image in B&W, very dramatic and moody. You might consider allowing more space around the bird. To my eye, it looks tightly cropped. This is a very nice image.   Posted: 07/15/2024 23:28:09

Great capture of the bald eagle and its pose is dramatic and powerful. I like the detail in the feathers. I might have left a few leaves on the left hand side and give more room above the head. Lovely shot though.   Posted: 07/16/2024 15:50:41

Nice shot. You certainly captured the eagle in a good location - much better than a bird on a bare branch. It still looks a bit noisy to me - especially on the feathers. I attended a webinar last weekend in which the presenter said he ran some of his bird images through Topaz DeNoise AI twice then through AI Sharpen twice. His stuff looked pretty noise free and sharp, at least on the digital screen. I have not tried tht myself.
I like white skies...I know some don't, but I find them very artistic. I think you have done well with your post processing. The only way I know to renover fringing is with careful cloning is PS.   Posted: 07/16/2024 16:36:11
