Description
The North American Bald Eagle is considered the largest bird of prey in the United States. They can see almost a mile away and will fly up to 100 miles in a day searching for food. They are opportunistic, feeding mostly on fish but will also feast on carrion if nothing else is available. In flying, it can reach speeds up to 43 mph. Dive speeds are even faster. Many migrate south during the winter. They are very sensitive about their breeding spots, preferring to be away from disturbances.
I photographed this eagle, then did some artistic edits in Photoshop by adding textures (from Digital Texture and others) in order to achieve this effect.
Watermark will NOT be on purchased products.

I really love what you did with this photograph! What's so striking is his yellow feet and beak brought out by your amazing background. Very well composed!
