just finished this... it is on paper 40x 50 cm, click on the link to see it... wanted to get away from the regal pose of the bird and make it look more vulture like, as it does a lot of scavenging... hope ive acheived it in this portrait... Paul

Nice work again. Certainly not the "typical" pose we associate with this bird.

Wow, you have really caught the "fierceness" of the Bald Eagle. Lovely portrait.

Superb portraiture Paul - the vignetted study into the background contributes to the air of menace - lovely work.

Fair flew off the gallery wall, just as it should be! It's just a shame you can't include loud screeching as an audio accompaniment, that would round off the character perfectly!

This is my first post on this forum, how wonderful to use it to say Congrats Paul, whoever got it is really lucky to have it.

( I think the smileys are better here than on WC:gh

Ha! - Firstly a huge welcome to Birdforum Colleen - this is the best bit (but the gallery's definitely worth a peek, and when you want to upgrade your Nikons, check out the binoculars and equipment threads; mindblowing).
Great to see you over here.
