Sometimes I can be a real dummkopf when it comes to evaluating my own images.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"1\/2000, f\/8, ISO 500, Canon 40D,\u00a0Canon EF 500mm f\/4L IS USM, not baited, set up or called in<\/em><\/p>\n

This is a photo from my archives that has never before seen the light of day. In fact until last night I had never even looked at anything but the thumbnail of the image in my organizer. Why? Because I have another photo of the same bird that I thought I’d like slightly better because in this one the right wing isn’t fully extended.<\/p>\n

But when I look at this photo on its own merits and don’t make the comparison I like it a lot. The light on the eagle is excellent, I like the flight pose despite the right wing not being fully extended, the bird is so sharp I had to cut down on my normal sharpening routine during processing and I think the colors of the water reflections in the background are a bonus.<\/p>\n

The one positive aspect of me being stuck at home during surgery recovery is having the opportunity to find overlooked images in my archives.<\/p>\n

I’m trying to look at the bright side.<\/p>\n
