MItal, I would clone the 2 twigs. As for the CW rotation, his eyes are level, so I would not. This is a nice clean image, but i really liked the BG on the first spotted eagle post
thanks tom, fact was it was taken on bit steep angle from car while eagle was sitting on small tree trunk top. may be some other day in few months we might get chance to shoot on same bg clean perch ;)
I'd prune out the the two branches. The angle is a problem you can't do much about; but perhaps you could bring out some more light over the shadowed eye of the eagle--not too much, but just a little more.
Yes to the clean up. I'm not in love with the shooting angle and the uneven light on his face. But the bird is nice and sharp and really giving you a stare.
Love the repost! Maybe a tad more black on the body (don't want to re-darken the eye) would set him off a little better, and possibly a little more space top and right. I personally like the angle, as it expresses his distinct interest in you, and you got very nice IQ in a difficult shot.
actually darkening the body would be little odd as the one specie i found was pure of that tone almost what its been seen so i assume i may right on that dark toned GSE ....
Repost better. I'd lose the little twig and add some canvas on top. You have more room below than above.... In a case like this if you are unsure as to whether it is level you can blow it up and use the Ruler Tool to draw a line through the pupils...

Guru,
I've made some changes.
1. Lighten few wing and leg part on High Shadows
2. Dark eye recovery a bit as asked by few.
3. Cloned Twigs as you said and added canvas on top by cutting bit on bottom
4. Level seem just perfect. as made Grid to see and they were leveled also the beak and leg were also in formation and so the breas edge and tallons were aligned.
That is one beautiful repost; thanks for being open to our suggestions!
