Great interaction wildlife shot. Looks like a very cold windy day judging by the chop on the water and the Eagles tail feathers forced to the left. You have to be pretty dedicated to be out there to work in these conditions. I feel the Eagles feathers were dodged, there's a lot of noise there. Or it's a big crop. That's OK, NG allows dodge and burn and crop. If the NG article was based on interaction between species there's a good chance this would be published. It's not crisp and sharp and DPC candy and not all NG shot's are this either, but those that aren't have other elements that make them more than compelling and usable.
Crows are gutsy birds! Great moment to capture. I'd like to see the crow's eye brought out a bit (if that's possible) just to add his facial expression to the story.
