Looks like either the focus is off or its the remains of a heavy cropping job. Either way, image quality has been compromised. A very strong composition though.
Wow! What a wonderful side profile of this magnificient bird. And the composition really allows the viewer to get "up close & personal" with this bald eagle. One really gets a good look at that commanding stare and that sharp beak. I love all the details you can see in this one from the feathers to the textures on it's beak. Well done.
Technical: great composition and coloring, the black background really helps, the focus seems to be alittle off...can't quite tell what you are focusing on.
Creativity: because you focused on a closer image of a bird, i think the creativity area deserves a bump
Personal Opinion: the title helps in my opinion...
Score: 8
