This White-tailed Eagle image was made last May during a too brief trip in Norway with the amazing Ole-Martin Dahle. He had just taken the bait and made a spectacular flypast.


Canon 1DMkIV, EF 200-400 @ 320mm
f/5.6 at 1/1600 sec, ISO 800 Hand held
DPP 3 and PS5. Had to rebuild part of the background after straightening. Adjusted Levels and luminosity masks on Curves.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

An almost perfect pose for me and I like the mottled colours in the background.
The only minor comment is whether you could tone down the highlights in the top of the head a wee bit to give some richness to the colours and recover highlights in the tail feathers for some more detail.
