Very nice capture. I especially like the first one.

Adult baldies are very hard to expose, especially in direct sunlight. If you preserve the (all-important) head, then the underside of the wings goes very dark. Not much a person can do about that, and still leave it looking natural. It’s one reason I like shooting eagles over snow!

Agree with the other poster though that the IQ is fairly rough. Maybe a bit of back focus (on the far wingtips) in the first frame? Maybe a bit of near focus (on the near wingtips) in the second frame?

I especially like DxO Photolab for its Deep Prime NR. Also I’d pass on the vignette and artificial blur.

Thanks for posting these!

ps. I personally would go for the 1.4x before the 2x. Almost no hit in IQ with the 1.4x, and the AF should still be good. Plus the 2x would make BIFs harder (at least for me).

OK, I gotta ask now. Are you ignoring me?
