Excellent shot! Steel, rubber, smoke, fire. Makes me wonder what will happen next.

The lighting is most effective. The petals feel like blades. Beautifully done...

5 - Think I understand what you were going for, but don't think it has reached full potential - perhaps a little more depth and contrast, along with a more refined crop/composition.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

To quote someone famous, Ah feel yer pain. This flat grey winter sky we get is capable of giving a dull, boring cast to even the most dynamic subject, and I can see the eagle starting to lower into that half-crouch and lift its wings. It would be great to see if you got any shots following this one of the bird in flight. Too bad these birds like coastal areas, where murky skies are often the norm!

Technically, I would have cropped out a little more on the bottom, and the right, so the eagle wouldn't be so centred, and done a little cloning to remove the pine needles sprouting from the head. I do agree to an extent that more pp could have made the image pop a little more, but on the other hand you don't want to go overboard.

Otherwise, a very decent shot considering the light you had to work with. Keep up the good work!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

Sorry but for me the image is a bit dark, may just be my monitor but most of the other entries look brighter. Good luck.

Unfortunately not fine art, in my opinion. Who are you? What are you saying with your image? What should I feel about the things you're saying? Does it mean anything to you? Are you in here, somewhere? Those are the questions I want answered by a photograph in a challenge such as this. Technically your image is very dark, and needs levels adjustments in post. The lighting is not good. The tight crop/frame is not the best; perhaps a shot of the entire plant might have made for a more engaging or delicate picture.
