Artist's Comments

A bit over exposed again in the white. It's tough dealing with the white + hard shadows on this guy. Doesn't help that I cannot use the flash since there is a vertical wire fence between me and him.

Shot through a vertical wire fence.

Species: Bald Eagle
Location: Bronx Zoo, Birds of Prey
Lens: Canon EF 70-200 F4 L IS USM

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. If you do too, copy and paste this into your signature.

I don't think the white/hard shadows matter - they contribute to the overall effect. He looks so regal, and this picture is just lovely - you caught him looking fierce, without making the picture seem so scary people are put off. XD

Do what you like because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Awww man - I'd be going to it every weekend if I was that close (to any zoo). It's quite a drive for me.

And thank you!

Wow really fantastic portrait! I would not have noticed the overexposure had you not pointed it out. Love how his eye looks!
