Juvenile Bald Eagle Portrait in Black and White

Here is an image of a juvenile Bald Eagle from my Bald Eagles Galore Workshop in Alaska. I knew this image would be a black-and-white conversion the moment I saw it. Something about the mixed plumage and out-of-focus dark, wet beach background draws me into the Eagle’s eye.

Bald Eagle BW Over The Top Big Sky

Something a little different: A black & white conversion of a Bald Eagle cartwheeling as it dives against a stormy sky. While I do shoot extremely tight images packed with visual impact most of the time, I do always think about shooting loosely framed images which traditionally don’t do as well on social media, but make much more pleasing images for my walls.
