Wildlife cropped close is difficult in black and white. The Bald Eagle has so much contrast in their feathers and white head it’s a little easier.

Most of my black and white is done using old Agfa 35 mm film emulators. This is what I shot when using film and I am comfortable with it. Not these.
Both were processed as Kodak 400 film.

Nice detail. The sepia effect in the 2nd shot creates an old time feel.
Something different, thanks
