The best with this photo is the close and personal approach, and also the all dark background. This let us study the eye and the beak in detail, and the bird is also standing out in an excellent way.

Your photo is also pin sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the bird's head. The exposure is spot on and has brought out such a fine shine in the eagle's eye.

The very tight cropping is working well and the bird has got a very good placement within the frame showing off its beak. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo, and with an excellent DOF.

This is a beautiful image, Grace, showing the magnificent Bald Eagle with his beak wide open and what a lovely story accompanying this. The black background really makes him stand out well. Love the light in his eye. Excellent lighting and focus showing great clarity in his markings. Lovely composition. Suzanne

To get this tight close up shot with the beak open is truly a one of a kind. Excellent eye clarity and sharp focus.
Love the tight crop and the dark background leaving no distractions.

This is a great close up photo
Of this eagle, and my first view of one this close with its mouth open. The detail and clarity is amazing and the focus is pin sharp. A unique look at this majestic bird that I am used to seeing typically in a standard way. Great unique presentation.
Pleasure to view.

Nice , I like this angle for the picture , the black background really pops the colors and highlights the yellow beak , good action by catching the beak open , good details and lighting .
