Description

This photo was taken a year back during a hike I took near Ottawa in Ontario Canada. The lookout point (named Eagle's Nest) was about a 90 minute hike into the woods and I believe it was used by the natives as a spiritual location. You could literally see eagles swooping down and catching fish in the lake area below. Beyond this vantage point was forest as far as the eye can see.

Feedback given to me from my previous photos gave me a good idea of how I should play with the contrast, and I'm quite happy with the result, so thanks to everyone for your constructive comments!

Very nice perspective, however it seems to me that the tree in the foreground is out-of-focus.

Great job on the coloring and image composition. You overshoot on the right hand side of the tree a little bit with the burn tool. +8/9

wOw what a location ! & what a beautiful shot !!
I wouldn't change a thing about it ! Top Marks !!
But if it were possible without it affecting the shot too much, i might avoid cutting the top of the nearest tree !
Using an Unsharp Mask of around [300,0.3,0] might help bring out smaller details on the trees !

Thanks again everyone, I appreciate all of your comments! Dakoo, thanks for your feedback I'll give your Unsharp Mask tip a shot! I agree about the crop as well.

A stunning scene, although it does appear a bit noisy. Might be the sheer number of details in contrast to the low-pixel image that's the problem though, I can't tell for sure. Have you a larger version of this shot? Lovely colors!

I really enjoy looking at this shot. One critique if I may... the red tree in the foreground seems a bit blurry, im not too sure if it was intended or not but overall great photo. +5/5
