notes:

From the raptor presentation at Castle Rosenburg in Lower-Austria a close-up of the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus Leucocephalus) looking for his prey. The prey used is a tool called "Federspiel" which consists of a leather-body with feathers of the bird the Eagle is trained to hunt. Itґs mounted at the end of a long rope and swung in a way that the Eagle thinks itґs a living bird he can hunt.

Fascinating expression, but the picture seems to be a little bit out of balance.
Personally, I'd try a version with more sky cropping off part of the bottom and the left, or, alternatively cropping so much of the blue space on the right that the eye is moved into the "golden cut" on the right.

Hi Laurenz,

first of all thank you for recognizing my work - do me a favour and change it to what you meant and mail it to me if you donґt mind the effort - thanks.

Cheers
Virgil

Beautiful, proud bird. The sight of a predator looking out extraction is well transferred. Excellent light and a colour rendition!
Regards.
Elena.
