This is a composite, repainted in Photoshop.  I used the blender brush to create some motion blur.

Lovely composite Cindy -- the eagle really stands out against the background of conifers.

Nice work.

Nice Cynthia! The blue/cyan of the BG works well to contrast the warmer tones on the eagle. Great brushwork. Maybe a tiny catchlight in the eye to improve an already great image?

Thanks all. Jackie-there is a "tiny" catchlight in the eye if you look at the larger version. Maybe too tiny? :)

The soft BG works well with the eagle. I think the eye could be brought out more.

Nice pose and separation of the bird and background. Like the effect of the BG.
