    Another one of my son's photos. The eagle nest fell down in a storm, and the eagles immediately started rebuilding.

    That is some serious foundational lumber there. Love the framing, though a little tight on top and bottom, the EXP could be raised slightly, the pose is superb. Sharp right where it needs to be. Lift the shadows a little more and sweet canvas IMHO.

    ps
    The spread tail feathers and that face...

    Welcome Shadi, nice to see you!

    That's a talon-full I'd say. Nice, intense stare draws our attention nicely.

    I agree with David you could benefit from 1/3-1/2 stop of exposure. I'm good with the tree in the background but have you considered trying out a Denoise program such as Topaz? Could improve things I think.

    Otherwise, might want to consider loosening the crop to give some room for the wingtips to breathe. It could maybe take a touch more sharpening as well.

    Look forward to more from you.

    I have to second everything that Brian said.
    I also see some magenta fringing around the feathers. Easy fix in Lightroom. Just check the box that says "Remove chromatic aberration",
