I found this one in a local Zoo. Did some manipulation to take off the cage. Hope you will enjoy it.

The best thing is that you were able to get rid of the cage...and then to be able to take a photo of such a proud little bird...its wonderful!! The way the background is faded and soft adds to showing him off too...Nice work my friend!!

I really like the soft colours here. And the position of the eagle, like it's ready to fly, very pretty. And you totally disapeared the cage. Well done

I like the way you have done this...especially the look of the 'slight halo' around the birds head!.....brilliant soft colours..

Beautiful shot of an awesome looking raptor. Good to see a bird pic from you. Possibly just a bit soft for my taste, but great lighting and I sure don't see any cage. Very cool!

This takes my breath away Priyantha. I love the rapor birds and this one is no exception. The detail on the chest is incredible. His eyes are focused on something in the distance and the work that you did cloning out the cage looks flawless to me. I like the softer focus on this guy.....it adds an aura of mystery to him. He is going to fly right into my favorite's folder on my harddrive and roost there for awhile so I can admire him at my leisure. Thanks for the post :~)

Great bird, good shot.
I only think you put in too much scattered light when you applied the soft focus. It helps if you do a contrast or clarity adjustements afterwards.

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...

Every mammel on the planet develops a natural balance or a certain equalibrium with the world around them but we humans do not, we move to an area and we multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way we can survive is to spread to another area. There is only one other organism on this planet that follows the same pattern, a virus. Human beings in the intrest of the planet are a desiese a cancer of this eath. (Kinda makes you proud dosen't it)

very nice, you did a good job of taking out the cage only possible thing a could suggest is to maybe do some levels work to make the picture a little less hazy looking.

ps. just read paul_gerritsens comment basicly what he said
