Hi Viacheslav,
Nice shot and Welcome to TE.
The subjects are very crisp and clear as opposed to the blurred background.
I liked the image very much.
Thanks for Sharing, Neelima.

Brilliant photo, Viacheslav,
Welcome to Trekearth and what a grand way to start. Fabulous stop action, marvelous rich color, excellent detail. I love the way your subjects stand out so clearly against that nicely blurred BG, too. Beautiful photograph. Many thanks and kind regards,
Shelly

A beautiful photo here...really quite wonderful. The way you've captured this amazing golden eagle flying back to the hunter on horseback, surrounded by the spectacular scenery is really amazing. Really rich, deep colors, too...very nicely done.

Hi Viacheslav

Welcome on TE :-)
You've taken a brilliant photograph, with fairy-tail mood, but there are some technical problems there. I mean first of all about WB (White Balance). Most of these problems you can correct easily.
More about WB you can find e.g. here:
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/white-balance.htm
You can correct WB e.g. in PhotoShop and other software by using one function - AUTO COLOR.

I made a WS to your picture (in PhotoShop). What I did:
1) AUTO COLOR
2) Filter/Sharpen/Unsharp Mask/
- Amount - 96%
- Radius - 0.9 px
- Threshold - 3 levels
3) a bit of LEVELS.

But using just AUTO COLOR would be enough in that case :-)

Hope you find this Workshop useful and interesting.

Regards
Mirek

And this one, my friend, is really impressive.

Congratulations.
The scene and the DOF, as also the centered composition, is impressive.

Well done.

Hello Viacheslav,
A fantastic scene well captured with fine natural colours and against a good neutral blurry background that nevetheless tells something about the mountaneous barren surroundings.
Well done and looking forward to see more.
Regards,
Paul

Hello Viacheslav
It's a very attractive scene! Excellent capture..but there's something confusing in your note/title - is he a hunter or the owner of the eagle? :)
Welcome to TE!

Hi Viacheslav
An amazing photo for your arrival on TE. you managed to focus real well on the eagle and i imagine it comes at quite a speed.
Sky colour seems a bit weird but I do prefer your colours to Bisok's WS.
