Changeable Hawk Eagle

When this bird of prey decides to hunt, they scoop down at highest speed and land on the vertebra of mammals with their powerful talons, which crushes the prey and makes them immobile.

Interesting composition with the branches. Is this cropped? The light looks difficult, and the whites look blown(?) I would try using the recovery tool.

In digital, if the highlight is overexposed, then we can recover the highlights if the details are not completely blown. To start with if the details in the whites are gone, then we can't get it back. Digital is more lenient on the underexposed areas.

I think leaving out the right side dead branches would have been better. Thanks for sharing.
