Shot from a hotel room in Carmel, CA. The bird kept flying around in circle, perhaps over a prey. The colors are very muted because of the sun which was pretty much falling into the long lens from the other side of the trees, albeit a bit high. I tried to make it a bit of "negative space" thingie which I was experrimenting back then.
Hard to critique.. Maybe the bird (Eagle?) should have been in profile not from the front, and a larger contrast between the bird and background. That would make him stand out even more..
