Eagle Portrait against Black

best viewed larger...thanks for looking...DanT

Hi,

 

Nice shot of the eagle.

 

Only thing I would say is that it looks photoshoped and it looks like the eagle has been selected from a lighter background and placed on the dark one. I think that could really work well except for the white matte that still exists arond the head feathers.

 

If it was PSed, I'd suggest you go Layer-Matting-Remove White Matte before deselecting after placing the eagle on a new layer.

 

That should improve it immediately, although the selection looks like is could also be improved a bit and then you would produce a very strong image.

 

If it isn't PSed then sorry for the comments, it just doesn't look totally natural to me.

 

Regards,

Very nice photo. Jitka ...( http://www.jitkaunverdorben.estranky.cz )

It is obvious a photoshopped picture. I can't say it works well, because you forgot the finishing touch around the head. However the bird itself is beautiful and I think you made the colors much better than the original one.

Beautiful shot.Magnificent light.Beautiful subject.Tack sharp. Bravo

he says it wasnt manipluated. I think its just back lighting giving it that effect. I personally like it.

Great shot.
