aepelbacher 0 Posted December 10, 2003 I don't like this one as much as my previous post ... he looks like an Eagle on a stick. LOL!! :-) Regardless, any comments or ratings are greatly appreciated!! Link to comment
vincetylor 0 Posted December 10, 2003 Of the three, I like this the best....I think. He has that look in his eye that represents his true power. The others, (while aesthetically very good) make him look rather tame in my opinion. All three are good however. Aloha! Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted December 11, 2003 I like this one a lot, too. He looks like he's a high-ranking official in an army with that stance. Nice work again on this composition! Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted December 11, 2003 I like very much this eagle series. I agree with Vincent this one is the best for me also. Regards Link to comment
thomas_breazeale1 0 Posted December 11, 2003 I have also changed my verdict Lou Ann.I like this one the best due to the DOF and overall detail in the bird.Perfect exposure values! Link to comment
mari_mar 0 Posted December 11, 2003 This is great, the best! I posted the flowers again. You were right, :) thanks! Link to comment
colin carron 58,923 Posted December 12, 2003 I like the close up head shot best. This one reminds me of a maths teacher I once had. (She was an excellent teacher but on the severe side!) Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted December 12, 2003 You do realize, Colin, that I am a math teacher!!?? :-) Link to comment
colin carron 58,923 Posted December 12, 2003 ...and she was a delightful and charming personality and taught me everything I know about quadratic equations! But she had a very severe look and wore one of those black teaching gowns! (btw smashing photo, Lou Ann) Link to comment
alberto.conde 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Here I agree with Colin and V.K. Tylor. This is the best of the three because of the severe expression.On teachers, since I assisted a catholic scholl where most of the teachers were clad in black and wore similar inquisitive gazes, I agree that it reminds me of them, In my case, however (rest, my dear and admired Lou Ann) it is a latin language teacher that comes back to hautnt me...

Guest Guest Posted December 13, 2003 This is certainly not your standard eagle photo portrait, Lou Ann. As an environmental portrait, the background makes this exceptionally interesting to look at again and again, along with the bird's imposing demeanor. Very slight fill flash might have gotten feather detail lost on the right without upsetting the natural tones. Link to comment
vincetylor 0 Posted December 13, 2003 After a second look here...I will adjust my rating. Very very well captured. I really like the blurred out background and the colors throughout. Aesthetically excellent! Link to comment
neild 1 Posted December 13, 2003 Stern! Very stern... but I guess the natural down-turn of the beak helps to give this impression too!! The dof is perfect, as is the exposure... can't decide if I'd prefer a bit more space on the left, or maybe on the right... so I'll just keep quiet and say that the composition is good as well!!

colin carron 58,923 Posted December 13, 2003 I'm adjusting my rating up as well. This is one of those pictures that perhaps does not have as much immediate impact as the 'head shot' but sticks in the memory longer with all sorts of resonances! Link to comment
photos of hans koot 0 Posted December 13, 2003 maybe you just recognized yourself as a math teacher ? :-) like this one best too , all reasons been said above. Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted December 13, 2003 Oh my goodness ... you just saved me YEARS of therapy!! :-D LOL!! NOW I KNOW!! This is my BEST self-portrait yet!! Thank you so much! (What's your hourly rate?) Link to comment
sarahunderhill 1 Posted December 15, 2003 Love it... great expression on ther eagle- looks so mean! Link to comment
home page1 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Like the crop and DOF and best of the 3 you've posted. If this were mine, I'd use the shadow/highlight feature of PS CS to decrease the contrast and get more detail in the highlights (his white feathers) and shadows (his dark feathers). Otherwise, nice!

p. easter 0 Posted May 30, 2006 This is about the most powerful pose/composition I've ever seen taken of a bald eagle. The combination of intense concentration and a pose that suggests the bird is ready to spring into flight any second is truly a great capture of this lovely bird. Great going! Link to comment
