[Leica] Eagle from the deck #4478 uncrossed, unprocessed compared to cropped and processed

[Howard Cummer]

Thanks Adam,
There has been some off-list questions about how much cropping and processing I did to the image. So I am taking the opportunity of this reply to you
to post the original photo of 4478 (staring eagle) along with the processed image.

Original uncropped, unprocessed photo:

Please have a look. Look large if you like, recommended in fact.

C&C always welcome.

Whew - really nice sequence, Howard. What a joy to see lurking off your back deck. Well, maybe not so much having that predatory glaze directed your way! You really caught the eyes on those!
