Cool shot but too out of focus.

For me, your triple border almost makes it look like you took a photo of a photo on a wall. The outer thick black border detracts to em. Your image itself seems a little out of focus. Too bad you couldn't have gotten closer.

The border adds nothing to the photo IMHO and there appears to be a little camera shake.

Not in focus.

A bit blurred, but the colors are nice. The white of the eagles head contrasts nicely with the overall colors.

Not a fan of the bordering, the colors are not complimentary to the photo and it really spoils it. This picture suffers by the size limitation and may have voted higher in a larger format. Could have been good one for impressionism challenge maybe. I like the painterly effect in it. Avg vote

like the colors, but the focus is off

This would be absolutely stunning - if it were in focus.

There are 3 things that would make this picture better:
1. The frame is to busy. No frame would make the picture larger and the eagle more visible.
2. Adding more sharpness with USM (//www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=4)
3. Adjust the colors. It has a red colorcast that can be reduced using Curves (//www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=24)

This has the feeling of a painting. I like the colours but am not sure about the overall image.

This is an interesting photo - is that an eagle in the middle? Since this is a fall photo, I'd like to see a better saturation of color, and also, it doesn't look like anything is in focus on the pic. For me, the border doesn't do anything but make the picture look smaller.

Oh dear. This looks like a great setting and a great opportunity but it also looks very out of focus and exposed incorrectly.

Great subject but can I see camera shake?

Oh man this is a rough one. I think there are just too many things not good about this image to list. The one I will mention though is the border. Really bad border. If you are interested in more of a critique please feel free to PM.

Seems quite blurry...

This image seems to be suffering from lack of tripod. Unless your intent was to present a blurred image, and then I recant my suggestion - GRIN!

The extra frames don't really appeal or add to the quality of the image.
