Post-Processing:
Un-focus background. Adjust colour (warm) to match the bronze of the original. Sharpen edges. Adjust contrast.
Extra Info:
Took this kneeling in the snow which was reflecting the sunlight onto the underside of the wings. Probably my favourite sculpture in town - it seems to take on the character of each season. This is the first time I've caught it with icicles.

Maybe, but it wouldn't have worked well in portrait mode...

Thanks for the comments. Once again Jade, I think you've found a better shot :-)

The light on the eagle is where you want it. I might have just gone for a close up on the eagle from the talons up.

had you not mentioned the Aboriginal I would have thought it was First Nation of Canada
like the result and the icicles make it real
