Immature Bald Eagle

I managed to get to Yellowstone NP Last Friday. This young eagle was keeping an eye on the Gardiner River just south of the North Entrance.

Nicely captured.

Steve but I like the glint of sun at its back and that twig near its head, I thought, looks a bit like barb wire. The branch on the top right need not be there, don't you think? Just commenting...Good shot, Steve.

Very nice Steve The image might benefit from some cloning though as Isabel has already mentioned.

Thanks for the comments Izzie and Binnur. Sometimes there are branches and other things that get in the way of a wildlife shot. Still I prefer not to clone them out mostly because my skills are lacking.

[IzzieK]

At least you are honest, not just defending your turf not to clone out. I am beginning to like and understand you...

That one is two or three years old. Entering what I call the "dirty bird" stage. Body mostly brown and head turning white but still looks dirty (ergo dirty bird). Yeah those darn branches...

Thanks for commenting Dan. Yep, branches in bird shots and wires in landscape shots.
