Bald Eagle In Flight

Bald Eagle In Flight - This was the very first bald eagle I'd seen in

the wild. Acton Main was the location. He was soaring over Horn Pond.

This was one of the better of about 40 frames of this bird. In most,

he was too high up for good detail. Overcast skies did not help,

although I did push exposure compensation to +1 to get more detail on

the back-lit bird.

Try resubmitting this with a bluer sky. Sometimes a minor change like that can make ratings "soar". Just a suggestion.

Although I appreciate the previous poster's suggestion about making the sky blue, I'm not chasing ratings. I'd rather the viewers see it as it was.

 

I did brighten the shadows in CS3 and up saturation a bit.
