A bald eagle cries out as it effortlessly soars through the air near Prince Rupert, B.C. Once back home, with the help of Photoshop I created this image by keeping the eagle in colour while making the rest of the image black and white. I love the eye-catching effect is has and it turns the image into something more like art than traditional wildlife photography. Sometimes it’s nice to do things a bit differently! Please click on the image for the full size and let me know what you think!

I love the effect. Bald eagles (and in fact all large birds) never fail to impress me.
Thanks Mike! They are impressive, especially in flight!
Great image and I like your spirit of not being afraid to experiment.
Thanks Mark! I figure as long as I’m upfront about using photoshop on images then it’s fine to alter them and try out different post processing effects.
The eagle is wonderful showing off its wingspan. The effect is an interesting alternative and i like it though probably not too many like it.
