Fun to watch the progression.

I know I've already talked to you about this and you know how amazed I am but..... I have to say this.... and it needs to be said first on the forum.....

OMG you nailed the eye!!!!!! I'm actually a little flustered because it looks so good... and yeah.... I full screened the picture and walked all around the room. That eagle wont stop looking at me!!!!!!!!!! It's so intense and well done that I almost feel prey to it

Its been nearly two months since the start of this project. This week, finally I found a suitable background.

Its nearly done, just needs a better fit, but should manage that over the weekend.

Have a great weekend, Kurt

OK, the time has come to finally put all the pieces together.

Unfortunately, the epoxy caused the back of the eye to revert back to a whitish tint. But on the plus side the eye rest at just the right angle to follow your movement (90+ degrees vertically and 140+ horizontally), so I'm extremely happy to have gotten that effect.

Here a pic in the shadows outdoors

And in full sunlight

Till here for now, all the projects are done, so gotta find something new.

This is the best "capture" of the spirit of an eagle that I have seen.
