A very emotive series - well done.

gritty, powerful, and creepy. I hate to see this expressed in photography, and I wonder what the girl thinks of herself in this series. I also wonder if you're getting marked down for touching a taboo subject. If it makes people flinch, are they seeing that as a negative or a positive in the voting process.

Abuse, I assume.

This should take blue with a high 7 or 8.

I also think it should be sent out to shelters and agencies and put on billboards. Very powerful stuff. Fascinating decision on the crop on the left. I so badly want to see the eyes. It draws you in even more.

PAW Week 27 - Wedge Tail Eagle watching

Comment by nam:
Wow, Pam. This is a great capture in my book. Never heard of this kind of eagle - very much in control of the situation, isn't he?

Comment by CNovack:
Wow, very nice!!! You *should* be proud of the capture...and the fact that you got to see this LIVE! Love the dramatic action going here with the just taking off flight of the eagle captured! The backlighting on the feathers is lovely and there is also some beautiful light that brings out golden jewel tones in the grasslands. I also like how the tree branch curls in an up and down motion with another bird ready to take flight itself. Can I make a suggestion - I hope so - I would love to see more of that main eagle and the take flight action (I truly mean that, I would love to see it closer). The ol' bring us closer so we can further appreciate what we are seeing. Cropping the left 1/3 would have it flush with the tree and then cropping some off the top to just a hair above the extended wing tip of the right wing would then fully place the eagle as the true center of attention with the bonus of you bringing us even closer to observe the beauty of this majestic bird and it's environment.

You are rightfully proud. Amazing scene, beautiful and very proud-looking bird. I'd have been shaking, too!
