Bald Eagle, Eagle Creek, Alaska
We were hiking in the rainforest of Southeast Alaska. Eagles were EVERYWHERE, though at a long distance, along this creek looking for salmon.
Falco Wyomingii
This little bird is a hybrid of a Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird and the fastest animal in all of creation, and a Gyrfalcon.

Falco Rusticolus aka Gyrfalcon, Wyoming
I had taken my wife to Jackson, Wyoming at Christmas time so that we could ride in a "One Horse Open Sleigh". Dog it was cold!

Painterly. Beautiful. I usually don't care for cropping there, either cut off the top of the head or give a little more room, but it works here well. Background adds a real richness. Well done!
Thank you!
I don't really mind the crop. The transition between the top of her head and background is not very abrupt and blends in so softly that I hardly even see the top of her head / transition anyway. Otherwise I would probably be more inclined to agree with you.
Think we're saying the same thing...in this case, due to the softness, it works well. Nice image, Rusian.
Yes, my brain zeroed in on the "either cut off the top of the head or give a little more room" part I completely missed the fact that you think it works well here as well.
Well done Ruslan, beautifully lit, posed, and the elegance of the long Neck, gracefully turned, Bravo.
Beautiful lighting and post processing. Colors are great. Gives a very painterly vibe.
This is an amazing portrait and I love the painterly quality and lighting. I would love to be able to produce images as beautiful, how did you place and use lighting here?
