Come on, now. Like you actually capture that eagle in the same shot? That's awesome! The mid-tones seem a little flat, you could boost the contrast a bit via curves.

cool! it would have been neat if the bird was more prominent, which seems to happen if it is cropped just enough to omit the hiking poles (right at the finger tips of his left hand). great location and man is he up there! did he jump off a rock or something?

i LOVE this picture only because I cant find a word better than love, I could do without the blue things sticking out as they are distracting, but the fact that there is some sort of hawk flying on the side and the arms are outstretched on the man as if he were flying, its just gorgeous, again the blue things are really really distracting, what are they? 8

Great catch! I love how you caught it lighting up the water as well. Must have been amazing to see in person.

Wow, what luck. It's beautiful. I might have cropped the flowers out. A seven for you.

Very impressive, exposure. Of course, it leaves me wondering how you managed to get a bolt that does not fork, as if made to order for this challenge.
