    I really like the idea here - eagle watching the sunrise. Good example of when the bird looking away can work. I find the image a bit cramped and would have liked to see a looser framing without the sun tucked in so close to the edge. If this is a crop Loukie you could add some room.

    The eagle looks very powerful - there is just enough detail in the face to convey that feeling. Nice separation of the head and bill with the BG.

    Great mood and the sun adds a lot to it. You probably don't have more space but a slightly wider crop would be great. Thanks for sharing!

    Beautiful Image! I like the way the branches divide the frame and separate the eagle from the sun. I'm amazed that you were able to capture detail in bird (rather than just a silhouette) and yet not blow out the sky colors!
