Commanding awesome strength, silence and respect. I lucked out on the background. Taken indoors at a raptor show for Starved Rock eagle watch weekend.
* My bad - I should have put "silence strength" in the title. I thought you'd get it. :)
For the record, my experience with viewing eagles in the wild is that they sit quietly for long periods of time in the trees. Very peaceful and silent. For large birds, even in flight they are relatively silent.

A photo that in no way embodies the meaning of the challenge in my eyes. Not only are eagles very seldom actually silent, but your title, the harsh flash lighting, and the centered and flat composition all force my score down to the lowest I can possibly go.
An unapologetic 1 from me. Keep trying and good luck in future challenges.
