Interesting.
Very odd colors so I am guessing a lot of PP to get the effect.
Could have been a Great image but for the overall muddy look

Thanks, Architect1776:
Yep --mostly struggled to retain the right color of the Eagle and diminish the overexposed the patches of sunlight on wing...

D'accord --but sometimes the demands of the instant trump the visual niceites...
It looks like posterization.
I really like how you captured the bird's intense focus on whatever he was after.

The photo was taken on Arizona's Verde River --water in the desert, but not very much. Bald Eagles nest there and I have previously seen them (usually the young ones) hunt from trees along the banks. With no notice, This one chose to use the tree I stood beneath. As they often do, the Gods of Exposure neglected to coordinate the best angle of the Sonoran sun with the limited time to catch focus
At least I got the eye --and the talons do for motive and message.
