Day 24v2 – O Beautiful, for Spacious Skies

There is a pair of bald eagles nesting at Yosemite Lake, a man-made reservoir and recreational area about 3 miles away. Occasionally they tour the neighborhood, and I ran outside with my camera when I saw one fly by.  It was perched on top of an electrical pole eating a rodent. The longest lens I have is an 85mm, which converts to a 127.5mm on a Nikon D200. So yes, this frame is very, very cropped.

    You should do more landscapes !! What is so neat about this one is your shadow is imaged in the cloud formation as well. the angles are mirrored. Dynamic geo-shapes.
    The hiccups on the horizon (tree forms) are a good grab for the viewer’s eye – and the bldg on right pulls viewer into the composition fully. all 3 values – in good measure – the dark wins it.
    This would be a great PERMISSION TO PAINT !!
    Definitely an eye dancer !!
