Really a nice all around shot. Very sharp eagle head and I like the background you chose.

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.

Classic. Too bad you couldn't have gotten a little of the red in there. It would have really made the subject stand out.

Cool photos, I'm not an anti-patriot, just that I've seen 4 other eagles from this challenge. This is the nicest one thus far 6
