I like the concept, but the photo appears out of focus and over sharpened.

Is that a prosthetic beak? Aw......Lovely detail in this shot. Your lighting and your colors are wonderful. The composition makes this bird look very regal still, in spite of his obvious injury. Nice photojournalist capture!!! It tells so much more beyond just what is seen in the photograph and isn't that what photography is all about? A picture is worth 1000 words! Nicely done.

Oh my goodness.... is that an artificial beak? I hope you tell us about this shot because I'm really interested.

Detail in feathers lost. I was confused by the subject at first, but I understand now. Poor thing.

This is extremely over sharpened. The blown out area on the birds head also hurts the shot a bit. To be honest (or more honest), I find the mangled beak to be a stomach turning distraction. That's not to say it's a great thing that someone fixed him up, but just me as a viewer - it's almost too much to take and I just want to get past the photo and never see it again.

What is this about with the 'device' on the eagle? My actions would involve getting it off of the poor bird and releasing it into nature! Upon another look at this photo that may well have been his demise! Glad I took another look at this it!

I get the title and the photo is technically well done. I have a hard time looking at the beak without feeling pretty uncomfortable. This is a tough photo to look at.
