John, nice high key Baldie. Looks like a blustery day, perfect for a frame like this.

Nice to see some underside plumage and good eye contact. Composition works well.

Well done on a dreary day but flat light and Bald Eagles are not the ideal combo A crop from the right and from below would tighten it up a bit.

with love, artie

I agree just a little more cop as Artie suggested. There is a lot more detail to be shown in the under- feathers ......it is all there believe me.
