Love what you caught in his habitat. Exposure and focus are spot on. I don’t know it the resolution would allow it, but my preference would be of a bit tighter crop from both sides.
I like the pose and sense of action. Good colors and detail and nice clean background. I could see a slight crop on the left.
Lots more pixels, so will do a tighter crop. See what you think.
Thanks -

Sandy, I will be tempted to do a vertical crop here. Love the eagle here, that yellow on the beak and eye really stands out.
I liked the environment in the original , since most of my other shots are tightly-cropped - but I also like the vertical a lot - all thoughts and comments gratefully solicited!

Works for me. Really spotlights a good looking bird.
Really like the cropped version. I can almost hear him crying.

LOL!! Look what popped up from the VERY very old archives! (2019)
Another image of this fellow calling his mate, before she flew over. Second camera, different settings from the mating eagles image
