oO The Real One Oo Photo

Photographer’s Note

Not even one reaction to my last post...

But I want to give the solution: the real American Emblem is this majestic "Bald Eagle"!

Sorry for the joke... he seems to be annoyed :S

Belle photo, le regard est bien dirigé vers la zone libre, le profil de sa tête est parfait, et l'exposition juste à point!

Very well done and I like the serious look for the bird. Funny thing about the Bald Eagle, Benjamin Franklin wanted the National bird to be a Turkey! Some national emblems that you see around you can see a resemblence to the odd bird.

Hi Thomas. I don't know if this is more a photo for TrekNature, but it caught my eye straight away in your thumbnails - it's a fantastic shot. Very majestic as you say, and colors and contrast are great, sharpness also. The all blurred background draws all attention to the headmotive, superb. I love it, greetings Jens :-)

Hello Thomas,
A great portrait of the proud bird. Details and sharpness are amazing. POV is superb. It's great you could get so close to the bird.
Well done, congratulations!

salut Thomas
l'aigle chauve, vraiment l'un des plus beaux oiseaux qu'il y ait...
Did you know that there was a lot of discussion concerning this bird as the symbol of America, because it is said that the eagle is a coward...!!
pourquoi j'ecris en anglais moi??
donc disais-je, cet aigle serait réputé pour etre un lache...d'ou la polemique

ciao

bye

Hola Thomas,
He tenido ocasión de ver aguilas de este tipo en Canada y son absolutamente impresionantes, sobre todo cuando ves a una despegar de tierra y alzar el vuelo. Has captado perfectamente su dura expresión con este primer plano de excelente nitidez. También me gusta como has compuesto la foto colocando al aguila en la parte derecha y con la mirada llenando el resto del plano.
Excellent,
Regards,
Mirari.

Hi Thomas,
Wonderful shot! (although it's actually not the type of image TE is meant for imho). Composition is good, sharpness and detail are excellent. Very well done!
Greetings, Lia

Photo animalière de qulité Thomas.
On comprend avec cette prise pourquoi on parle de la fierté de l'aigle.
Excellente utilisation d'une DOF faible, du relief.
Amicalement.
Daniel.
