excellent light and landing pose, whites are a bit too bright (red channel blown)

Thanks very much for your comments please see the RP below, it is not 100% i dont think but may be vastly improved, WDYT?

Repost looks great.
Love the light as well.
I would crop up a bit from the bottom to get rid of the 2 dark blobs and clone out the black round blob under the eagle.
What method did you use to fix the whites. You did a good job,
Gail

This is a fantastic landing pose that you have captured here and the light is magnificent. As everyone mentioned the whites are a little blown out and I believe nothing much can be done since it was over exposed to start with. With my lowly editing skills I have tried my hands on this image. Let me know if its looks ok.
