Comment by Dirt_Diver:
This is an awesome shot but the details say,

Details: Photograph someone or something that can represent the spirit of a country creatively. For example, it is a stereotype using an eagle as a symbol of USA. However, challengers could photograph something else to represent the spirit of USA instead of an eagle.

This is a nail bitter. It's a really crisp shot but the fact that it says don't photograph an eagle makes me not want to give it a high score. Ughhh I'll have to vote on the whole challenge and come back to this one.

I despise these Eagle shots. They are such a DPC cliche. This does however suit the challenge so I'll have to like this one I guess. Nicely composed. DOF is good but we seem to be lacking detail in the lower feathers which is a shame because it takes our attention a bit

Lovely shot. Pittu about the shadow over the right eye is so prominent, it breaks the symmetry.
