Des' Alaska/Canada Trip #1 - Bald Eagles

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Des' Alaska/Canada Trip #1 - Bald Eagles

Postby losfp on Sat Jul 28, 2007 11:17 am

Bald eagles are so cool. They have this look in their eyes, a real predators' look. Saw plenty, took plenty of shots, but of course most of them were blurry, out of focus and tiny due to distance, light or whatever. Got a couple of good ones though. I got a couple of really nice ones in the bald eagle rehabilitation in Ketchikan, but thought I'd post a couple that I saw in the wild....

Juevenile bald eagle sitting on the tree, Petersburg. This is probably my best shot of a bald eagle on the trip. This guy was just sitting there in the tree.

Not the greatest quality shot as it is quite heavily cropped. Bald eagle about to grab something in the water, Sitka.

Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, Haines. Bear in mind that I am on an inflatable raft, holding on for dear lift with one hand as the raft is bumping, twisting and turning. It is raining quite heavily, and I am handholding the D200/grip in the other hand, with the 70-200VR + 1.7TC, wrapped in a slippery plastic raincover in the other. Not a bad shot, considering!

Des - love ’em. Your explanations go a long way to interpreting your shots and make them even more enjoyable. :)
