Bald Eagle ~ Homer Alaska

CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE A LARGER VERSION

I added a faint texture to the background of this Eagle image that I captured in Homer Alaska. It might be hard to see at this size but the texture overlay added a few brushstrokes to the background. The colors in the background were enhanced by Viveza 2 by Nik Software with the use of control points. I have so many eagle images that I still need to sort through :) .

    Beautiful work Denise. I love the flight pose and the background colors! Viveza 2 is one of my favorite plugins, especially for my landscape imagery.


    Thanks Andrew, Viveza really is a time saver :)

    I can’t see the brushstrokes on our iPad, but the lavender to blue gradient in the background is a knockout.. (We saw no eagles during our five hour wait for the I-80 traffic accident to clear, yesterday, in north central Pennsylvania.)


    Thank you Dennis, I appreciate it. 5 hours- yikes!
