Thanks for all of the great comments. For the people who live at lower elevations, the blue is the sky in the Colorado Rockies. I follow eagles around the state. But this is my best eagle encounter.

Very nice eagle. Great blue background. Sharp focus on the eye. Nice colors in eye and beak.

The feathers have nice detail, the blue is so intense it makes me feel like he's in front of a flag or something.

I'm a sucker for eagles, especially bald ones. LOL Very nice detail on the feathers considering the extreme lighting situation. Excellent.

the striking blue background adds to this shot

Beautiful pic of an Eagle. Honestly, I find the odd blue to be very distracting. I didn't even notice the eagle at first. It took effort for me to even look at the eagle. Also, it could do with about 12% of the top cropped off.

Wonderfully detailed ... few will see an actual eagle like this and you've shown us something special.

Great sharp eyes. Might have been good to have used some noise reduction on the sky, and perhaps also the balck feathers.

Great exposure and details, love the eye

Sharp and well shot. Nice detail in the feathers. I'd have cropped off a bit of the top, to get the eyes at the upper third line.
Post actions
Stunning color in the sky really frames this eagle well. Nice sharp focus.
Post actions
A little to much space at the top but love the subject. To me it just needs more of a crop.
Post actions
great composition, and light, great colors.
