He was actually preening and I liked the eye contact and the light on him. I've been photographing this pair of Bald Eagles since March 2008 at a local Botanical Garden.

Wow Duane, I really like this shot. Refreshing to get a different prospective on these magnificent birds. I must say I have none of this going on at my local garden, how fortunate for you. Your light I think worked for you and your EC appears to have been correct to handle the whites. You might want to sharpen just a little more particulary with the eye being a focal point and the blue BG, while a pretty color, perhaps could be toned down a little. Overall it's a great image that I'm sure everyone will enjoy.
