Adolescent Bald Eagle


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Adolescent Bald Eagle
Adolescent Bald Eagle
1/800 sec.@ F/5.7, ISO 250, 200mm fl.
W.Balance @ Sunny, direct overhead light, 55-200mm telephoto zoom VR.

Taken while on a family outing to the Binbrook Fall Fair. This female bald eagle was part of the Canadian Raptor Conservancy's "Bird's Of Prey" show. Although still young and without her trademark white head feathers, she is still an impressive bird!

Impressive bird with dramatic light. I've got ideas for this one, when you have time we should do the FB photoshop thang again.

  Thanks Marisol :-) Since taking this shot I've learned about selective sharpening a little more subtly in a seperate layer... when I feel confident with that skill I may post this one again if I can better it, lol.

  LOL... that's the beauty of a telephoto! She was about 4ft away, perched on the handler's glove while he talked after the show. What a regal bird! Thanks so much for leaving a comment here Kim, be sure to have a great night!
