Does anyone know what the appendages (on both sides of its beak) are? Never mind. Just now realized that the “appendages” are actually the wide sides at the base of its beak. Serious about crackers | |||

Since I originally hastily viewed and responded, no, I missed that fact. Thank you for alerting me. Had I followed the link or noticed the watermark in the lower corner of the photo I would have known it was already protected. This proves I should not do my leisure reading the same way that I read my work e-mails. | |||

The guy probably had a 400 or a 600, and if he had a crop sensor, like a Nikon D500, he's 1.5x that. Year V | |||

This was shot during a photoshoot. There were several other photographers there and the eagle was trained to fly on demand. Sgt. USMC 1970 - 1973 | |||

very well could have been , but I had a great horned owl do a very similar thing to me and dad , while we were fishing on a lake in Missouri. we saw him in a dead tree at the end of a cove, watching the water, and then he hopped off and "came right at us" only he pulled up and went right above us, cool thing was , there was no w o o o o o sh as he went by , from the air disturbance.

In terms of composition, I see a mess. Do any pro or former pro or advanced amateur photographers agree? Do any graphic artists or painters agree? | |||

Far, far, far from a photography expert. Looking forward to all replies to this post by experts. I'm seeing a great photograph? | |||

From an artistic standpoint, it doesn’t follow any of the “rules” for good composition... Of course there are always those images that are compelling because of the subject matter (I think this counts because of the unusual reflection and viewpoint), but good composition is what makes an image a success, regardless of the subject matter.

A quick and half ass example, I found this shot online. Compelling subject matter, and so clearly a “good photo” A different crop, however can add a better composition to the image, and then you get Both the compelling subject matter and more “art”.... All that said, I still like the eagle picture! Bill R | |||

That rug really tied the room together. |
I went boating last weekend, looked up, and saw a bald eagle. My 6 year old son pokes around under the tree and finds a bunch of eagle feathers, that he totes back to the boat. I freak the f out as I know that possession of Eagle feathers is a big ass no no. Make my kid go and put all the feathers back. Beautiful birds. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

Also not a compositional master, but: The composition violates the rule of thirds. But I find strict symmetry to have an appeal all its own. Serious about crackers | |||

The Canon 100mm macro has an f-stop of 2.8. When I see this photo, I wonder why he was shooting at 7.1? A wider aperture would have resulted in more background blurring, isolating the subject, and let him shoot with a lower ISO. Wide open at 2.8 would have been risky, but there a lot of birders who shot between 5.6 and 4.5. The 5D Mark IV can shoot up to 1/8000 of second, so it's not that he can't get his shutter speed up higher. | |||

^^^^^^^^ Re: “When I see this photo, I wonder why he was shooting at 7.1?” Probably because he set the camera to full-auto mode. Many folks do that nowadays. Serious about crackers | |||
