This is in my opinion the best photo and best edit I've ever done. If it gets dinged, I hope people leave their reasons why. Open raw, adj white balance, up viberance, open in edit, cropped, Levels midtones down, burn the top of the head a bit. Saved, reopen raw, recovery, and a bit more viberance, open edit, tiny bit of contrast, resized, sharpened, saved for web.

I'm surprised the other eagle beat this one, actually; as far as I'm concerned, this one's a full point better, because of much more expressive light and detail. Congrats on your new PB and top-20!

No dings at all - this is an amazing capture. We who have been here a long time tend to see a lot of eagle shots, but this one truly is very well done. Print this up for yourself nice and large and hang it somewhere! Congrats on the new PB, too!
