Wow! In my top ten. The river helps the eyes to move through the picture.

A nice landscape that leads the eye in, good exposure and focus but nothing that says wow! to me

Great landscape. Photo could use a little more contrast.

Nice shot - Like the tones - but could do with a little more contrast to make the image pop as it all looks a little too grey and flat.

this is an absolutely fabulous location for photos - you composed it very well but the image seems a little flat as if the light wasn't especially good. increasing the contrast USM at large radius or keeping it in color and doing lightness adjustments before desaturation would likely really help this. 5

I think that this photo needs more of a tonal range

Nice, simple, straightforward, not overly processed.

Wonderful - he feels crowded in the front, however. Could he have more room to look into the future with, maybe a little less room behind him? It feels unbalanced to me. 9

Love this composition with the way you've capatured the eagle's profile with the American flag in the background. I think the white feathers are a bit lacking in detail, but still, very nice job.

Nice and sharp (perhaps only ever so slightly oversharpened), nicely blurred background. I'd have been tempted to apply NeatImage just to the background. However, you have chosen to centre your subject in the frame. This tends not to work to well with animals, as the point of focus is always the eyes, and here the eye looks as if it has not been placed at a deliberate point within the frame. I would have centred the eye, which would also have given the eagle some negative space to look into. Shame some of the white of the eagle's head has been cropped off. I think you could have brought out more highlight detail in PS.
