Eagle in the Eye

The musical group "America" wrote in one of their classics "He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of hurricane that's abandoned." To me, this is that "Eagel in the Eye" (you might, however, see something else here.) As always, I have used no artificial intelligence to either create or manipulate this photo. I have used Photoshop, but more to portray what I actually saw in real life than to enhance or change reality. As the camera was not able to accurately record what I saw, so I needed to do adjustments to the amount of exposure in different parts of the scene. For example, the clouds underneath came out much too dark, as well as the water and bushes in the foreground (which are still a bit dark, but it looks great to me.) As a disclaimer, I did use Photoshop to do some minor touch up work. Much like my uncle, who painted over his portraits with a paint brush over 60 years ago, I digitally painted over a couple of small distractions in the water, and about a half dozen minor distractions along the shoreline. Otherwise, I have done my best to reproduce what I actually saw with my eyes.
