Feels like a too tight crop on the bottom...

Nice textures and silhouettes. For my eyes, it appears slightly over sharpened, but the image evokes the feeling of this being a special moment.

I personally would have cloned out the power lines.

This shot had so much potential but I gave this a 5.... A longer focal length is needed to get closer. The wires take away from the shot. If you could have framed to crop them out it would have scored higher in my book. The B&W conversion is excellent with deep black tones in the shadows and nice highlights and midtone greys. The eagle, who is the star of the show, is barely noticeable among the clutter...
