Two at the Eagle's Nest

This is one stray branch away from being an absolutely awesome photograph.
This is from Friday afternoon.  I'm getting a lot of work on adding some light to the shadows.  The sun was giving off good light, but at a 90 degree angle.
The bird was coming in for a landing, and the wings were used to slow down the action.  Nice soft landing.  Big wings.  And big wings blocking the light on the bird's head.  And a branch in the way.
I'm getting pretty good at removing objects, but won't try with this branch.  Too much of the Eagle's eye would be slightly altered and I'd have to re-build a lot of it.  So, its a 99% er.  I'll just have to go back some evening to get the last 1%.
In this light the shadows are pretty stark.  I had to add some artificial light n a few places.  It's all part of the journey.

There is a pretty aggressive crop here.  And it still passes the screen saver test.
