Nice luminous and flourescent colors; much more advertising or film oriented than art photography. I think the blur of the fan is a nice touch.

Very good angle and use of the bold sign incorporating different angles within the image.

Greeting from the Critique Club:

This is a fantastic eagle image with great details. The composition is strong with a crop that shows the image to it's fullest. It is technically very well done. The DOF highlights the bird, yet allows the details of the bird to be clearly in focus. The attention is immediately on the beak and eyes of the bird, which is supported by the clear focus and bright color.

The difficulty in taking this image to the top level is the perception of the voters that the single light source was not artificial. There is clearly a light source over the eagle's shoulder, resulting in the bright patch on the head, the catchlight in the eye and the glow over the eagle's back. Yet, most likely because eagles are generally in natural lighting, a number of voters doubted the source as artificial. In a situation like this, the photographer is at a great disadvantage if he does not clearly show his light source is artificial. Yet, the fact that this image scored so high indicates many gave you the benefit of the doubt.

Overall: Wonderful pic, strong appeal, technically superb, without a definative meeting of the challenge which hurt it some.

This is a nice image as far as quality goes. The light switch up in the right aspect of the foreground is a little distracting. It's a generally good image otherwise.

It's too bad you did not follow the rules. A great pix gone to waste in a silly challenge over a virtual ribbon.

So where is the single, artificial source of light?
I had given you the benefit of the doubt, but I guess I shouldn't have.

The sharpness of this is amazing. The feathers on the neck and wing almost look fake/computer generated. Good image.
