What a beautiful bird. You did a good job showing that too. I love the close look seeing his eye and powerful beak. Our national bird has meaning behind it. Good job with this photo!

You did an outstanding job with this close up. I don't think there is anything I can say that I don't always say lol. You did a wonderful job once again. Eagles really are beautiful creatures aren't they? I would love to see one out in the wild one of these days. I have only seen them at zoos. Well done and thanks for sharing. :)

Lovely choice of angle that shows the eagle nicely. The lighting and contrast is really good. Background works well to make the main compostion pop. Overall a good piece, thanks for sharing

Hi Pat!
That's probably exactly what it was doing,my friend!
And it allowed you to capture a very good looking portrait photograph of him too!
It makes for a really 'Good Show' of a picture! : )

What a wonderful close up profile image of this bald eagle. The great lighting gives us a clear look at his details; the brown coloured feathers, his serious and watchful stare, his face, coloured beak and eye.
Your focus and clarity is very good. Thanks for sharing.

Pat,
A beautiful profile portrait of America's emblem bird the Bald Eagle it's piercing golden eyes fixed in the distance ahead of it from under it's"eye brows". it's dark brown plumage glowing in the sunshine. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus so given time we could count the feathers one by one.

Comment from MKFlood


well actually my first thought was the eagle was thinking while looking back.."i wonder if i lost her?" wink..lol..the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of this eagle giving that stern look back is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Do not understand your title! Pretty sure that Churchill had something to say about this!! Your wonderful image benefits from having a great composition, good exposure and sharpness. Well taken!
