This is a beautiful photo.
And to get it in such an up close photo.
It is really spectacular.
Truly a symbol of strength like you said.
Its like you can see its soul through those eye.
Great photo, good luck in the competition, thanks for sharing.

Grace, this is over the top good! No, wrong choice of words, not good, GREAT!!

this is just awesome and not many will think to showcase a portrait with a bird, eagle no less.

Now why, didn't I think of that!

Excellent in all details and how you handled your camera is magic!!

Definitely an excellent entry into your competition presented here! Your full on and central composition offers us a very enjoyable look at your eagle. To me this shot contains not only a lot of strength but even more bottled up anger! You did not do anything to upset it did you? Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

What a beautiful portrait of this eagle Grace, you certainly have been mastering the art of
Avian photography.
The detail in this is amazing and the clarity of this closeup is fantastic. I love the eyes of this portrait. They have that deep set look which is just
Mystifying. Excellent work Grace.

I like the eye to eye contact!
Excellent choice of subject.
Superb up close & personal.
Fine, fierce, facial features & fluffy plumage textures.

EyeCATching image...
A subtle chiaroscuro illumination effect.
Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for breaking the monotonous human subjects for this contest!
I should have entered my doggies portraits long time ago had I known that this comp is not only limited to human faces!

Thanks for sharing...

Comment from Stringbean


Wow! What a shot....you must be so excited I think he's looking right into your lens. This is a gorgeous portrait of this Bald Eagle. Those sharp eyes just draw you into this scene. Your lighting, spot on sharp focus and incredible details making this a realistic shot. Your central composition is engaging. A well taken shot with a good depth of field. Perfectly framed and well composed. Excellent camera techniques and an excellent composition. Thanks for sharing! A good contender in the Portrait Photo Contest.

Oh what a fine piece for this contest Grace.

I LOVE the tight up close presentation. Positively CRISP detail throughout! Spot on w/ exposure as well. Nicely titled...good notes.

Your animal pieces are just a pleasure to review Grace. Very best of luck w/ this one in the contest. It's perfect.

Deborah
