Again depending what you had to work with, while the centered composition works well here, perhaps a fraction more space above the head and to the left of the bill/beak, may have made this even better in my opinion. Of course the person in the background, and to a certain extent, the pens/fencing/whatever distract/detract. Not much to be done about the person (save for timing at time of shooting or cloning out in pp), the pens/fencing/whatever perhaps could be used to add an unusual patterned element here, not sure. A difficult bird to photograph and still be able to discern the texture/detail in the feathers/etc.

Nice colors and composition. If the eye were nice and sharp (and ideally the beak/bill as well) make this even better in my opinion. Looks like fairly good contrast control in the whites/feathers.

Nice pic, would have scored higher if it were more in focus.

There seems to be too much purple in what I think is supposed to be the white part of the Bald Eagle.

I like the title and concept behind your entry. The eagle seems overly sharpened on my screen and the feathers a bit on the blue side.
