would have been nice if the beak had been in the DOF, other than that I think this photo is pretty amazing. It is a great capture of a most majestic raptor.

Coffee Mug...aka "caffeine addict"

This image I think would have been better without the tonemapping. Great clarity on the eyes. I love the HUGE coffee mug in my face, but the post processing/tonemapping seems a little overdone IMHO.

I was sitting here having my morning coffee and thought I would look at other pictures on DPC of people having coffee. I found yours. Very nice photograph. I love how busy it is and this was a nice use of tonemapping which is not overdone like some I have seen. I also like the use of the wide angle lens to draw the whole scene in. Well Done!
