Want to thank all those that voted and commented on this picture. Understand the comments about saturation and sharpening. After looking at the entry on different monitors while travelling this Christmas, noted the reduced saturation and sharpening. It was, however a very overcast day. Don't understand the composition comments; I felt it was more important to capture the full impact of the catch rather than try to follow the 1/3 rule or some other rule. I realize the submission was marginal for the phobia theme but couldn't pass up the chance to get it viewed. --I had originally named the shot "Ornithophobia--at least from the fish's perspective". I espeically enjoy nature photographs so will be posting some interesting shots after the new year.
4 pour une image pas très bien cadrée, je m'excuse mais il y a aussi des lois sur la composition et des notions d'esthétiques à connaître avant d'essayer de se lancer dans la photo
On behalf of all of us lazy voters: your presentation would have been more viewer-friendly if your title included a brief definition of the phobia in addition to the technical word for it.
Now I've been looking for an eagle to shoot. Maybe adding a little saturation and contrast to this one to bring the bird out. Nice capture just the same.
It's a bird all right. Nice shot of one too. Personally, i just don't feel you're conveying any phobia here. If I'm any judge you feel this chap is majestic (I do too). Still a nice shot though, although I'd prefer it a little sharper - 6.
