Eagle photo preferences

More Eagle photos. I'm not sure which is better. Both photos are the same but the first one is with only slight change to exposure. The second is with a little more PP. Please give comments on which everyone prefers. Photo taken with Nikon D7100, Tamron 150-600 at 320 mm, ISO 100, 1/1000, f/7.1. Both photos cropped.

IMHO for what it's worth, I think you went overboard on PP in #2, not a lot but enough. I think the best result would be about half way between them.

Keeping in mind that everyone's computers and devices are calibrated a little differently, I think #2 is perfect!
However you end up, the capture is fantastic. Super pose of the grand eagle, and very appealing curves of the small branches in the wider view - another reason I prefer that one :)

They are both very good Mike, I like #1 because of the bluer skies.
Thanks for looking and offering your thoughts.

I agree with maybe too light in the wings and feathers. If I ever get the handle on using masking, I would be so much happier with my post production work. My biggest hang up is sharpness. If an animals eyes aren't sharp, I usually discard it.

I think the branches make a better composition also.

I like #2...I think the blue sky could be amplified in LR or PS alittle if you want the sky alittle bluer like the first one. Just a thought.

Thanks Mike! This is me playing to learn.:) I would also like to put your picture in my carving file if you don't mind. Some day I will find the piece of wood it is in.:)

I do like #2 for the detail within the bird and the branches. Prefer the blue in #1 much better.
