Rediscovered Eagle Image

Another one of my interminable mini-essays:

 

I admit that I haven't done well at organizing my sets...er...albums. The last couple of years have been done ok, but earlier years, no logic to them I fear. And I've not gone back in to remedy that because my take on albums is that very few -- other than the photographer -- ever visit them anyway.

 

Ideally, folks would -- from time to time -- just visit one of the albums to get a nice overview of someone's photos on a particular subject. Probably not the way Flickr works nowadays, though.

 

But I digress. In looking back through all of my Bald Eagle albums -- too many and too eccentric -- I found that I had never used this photo from when the eagles still came to the lake. The obvious reason is that there were branches in front of the eagle, making the shot quite imperfect. I managed to get the focus on the right place, but the almost invisible blurry front branches mar the image.

 

I've cleaned it up as well as possible without working on it at the pixel level, so present it now. "Eagle leaving a tree to fly out over the lake".
