Wow Adrian,
Brilliant portrait of this icon. Exposure is good, maybe a bit over at the top of its head? Excellent sharpness, OOF BG and composition. There is good detail, especially in the eye area. Great capture, TFS!

what a great closeup of this eagle. They make fantastic 'models' for photographs. it looks really natural. i think the composition is good. Most of the times, the most straightforward pictures make the best pictures. Thanks for sharing,

Hi Adrian

I watched an amzing programme on National Geographic last night on Glacial Bay. It showed many of these beautiful birds. You have done a super job here. Excellent exposure, good sharp, clear details. Brilliant work. :-)

Hi Adrian,

Perfect exposure and maximun details. Eye and beak are absolutely well captured.
I have read your notes and thinking about what kind of reasons made important eagles to humans I realize how necesary is a paradigm change to put animals -form eagles to worms- in its authentic place in Earth.

Best regard my friend.

Hi Adrian

Not bad, not bad... i could do better :))))))) (BTW, that's the joke of the day)
Seriously now, it's a simply impecable portrait of this icon of a bird!
A really great look you managed to capture here...was he watching something very closely?
Excellent POV, super sharp details, perfect colors and contrast and very good exposure are only some of the elements that complete this fabulous composition.
Greay work, my friend! Glad again to see your shots!

Hi Adrian,

Nice portrait. Great colours. Great sharpness in beak, eye, plumage...
Cropping is a bit tight IMO but it is as it is a bit of your trademark...and I don't mean this in a negative way. Maybe if the quality is outstanding it is 'acceptable'.
The exposure bias...I wonder if it is done to get detail in upper head white part which is always a difficult area.
Excellent work

Hello Adrian,
This is really impressive. I understand these beliefs about this bird because it is so majestic! I saw one in the wild once you remember? And by looking at them flying, you get this sense of infinite power! This portrait is a very nice tribute to this exceptional bird. Details are fantastic. Well done and thanks for these useful notes.

This is a beauty Adrian! Dramatic shot, because of the subject, expression, lighting and zoom. But then I think you OWN this subject on TN. But I look forward to some REAL Americans Bald Eagles soon! ;-)

Un excelente primer plano estimado amigo para tu regreso luego de unas semanas de ausencia.
Gran POV, excelente DOF,foco y agudeza con todo el color y el contraste con el fondo.
Personalmente hubiese dejado 5mm. más de margen izquierdo, pero es sólo mi punto de vista.
TFS y me alegra volver a ver una trabajo tuyo en TN.
Ricardo

An excellent close admired friend for your return after some weeks of absence.
Great POV, excellent DOF, focus and sharpness with the whole color and the contrast with the bottom.
Personally I has left 5mm. more than left margin, but it is only my point of view.
TFS and I am glad to see your work in TN again.

Hi Adrian,
A superb frame filling portrait on this Bald Eagle. A perfect exposure has the colors and detail looking amazing. You know you have nailed it when you can see the intricate detail in the Iris of the eye.(Like this shot) A perfect 10 out of 10 on my score card.

Hello Adrian
Another perfect master piece from your lens. This raptor, although possibly one of the most photographed eagles on TN, still looks fresh and original every time you share a new photo showing its majestic beauty.
Technically the shot is superb and it is evident from the close crop of this excellent composition, the exquisite details captured on the feathers, beak, and eye, the stunning colours, the perfect OOF and complimentary dark green BG, and the well balanced exposure showing some amazing contrast.
Splendid work my friend and TFS.

Loot

Hello Adrian, very nice shot with stunning details in the pens. Some blown highlights in the whites I wonder if that was beyond correction in Raw. In such cases would you ever be tempted to use the healing brush to redeem such hot areas. Well done.

What a sharp and handsome bald it is! i don't know why they are called as a bald? Maybe he beat the problem on the head and got the hairs soon mf:-) Incredible sharpness along the head. i love the texture on that great yellow beak, smooth and dry! Another masterpiece from you but i'm waiting your photos from North America:-)

Clarity is nice. The eyes are important to have in focus for close ups as this.Which you did.
I imagine you would like my part of the world where we have one of the largest counts of these in the wild.Seeing them go about their ways in natural surroundings is so fascinating.
