It Wasn't the weather I was hoping for, but it was a fun day of shooting anyway.

Lovely collection. If I may comment on one aspect, although I am sure I know why, but the shadows do seem to have been pulled a lot and it is showing up a bit in the images - I wonder if you left the shadows in, would the images look a little more natural?

Doesnt detract from the stunning captures, btw....lovely shots indeed.

All nice compositions. Possibly it's just me, I'm not seeing detail in a good bit of the whites.

I Did pull the shadows a bit, as well as exposing for the brown feathers instead of the heads, but as Morris pointed out I probably lost some detail in the white feathers. I didn't want to have the dark brown body just appear black against the white misty background. Thank you both for the comments!

I always expose for the eagle's head and then pull the shadow detail if necessary. Works even on a cloudy day and on some cloudy days, the nice soft light leaves enough detail in the dark feathers.
