Like the pose Dan and the visible outstretched talons, but there is a lot of repeat patterning to the left of the subjects wing (as viewed) and above in the green of the water.

Hi Dan, I agree with Steve's comment, wonderful landing pose but the cloning really distracts from the "awe" of this. Great perch and nice feather details.

Nice landing pose. The head looks cooked. Wonder what the original looks like.

Steve touched on the cloning issues, I agree the eagles head seems to be grey too where it seems you had to do some highlight recovery.

nice landing pose with all the right elements
