Welcome back, Peter! It’s good to see you take up where you left off.

These are great action shots with some really dynamic poses. The brightest highlights on the top of the head are losing detail but that’s also partly due to the glancing line of sight on those surfaces. The beak looks pretty bright and perhaps blown out a bit in a couple of these, but not badly. I suspect you can bring it down pretty easily.

I’m really looking forward to more of your Eagles and your adventures on the river.

These are great action shots Peter. I love the wing positions. It makes me think of take off/landings at the local airport here. Dennis has pointed out that the bright spots could be toned down a bit. Keep them coming.

HI Dennis & Ed
I used a couple of control points the town down age head and beak.
What do you think?
Peter



Makes a lot of difference Peter. I can see some detail in the whites now. :slightly_smiling_face:

Nice job, Peter. I like the results.

Nice poses Peter and I like the reposts. Bird seems a bit soft to me. Still fine captures.
