Hi Marcin,
Looks like a juvenile from the dark in the feathers, perhaps only a few years old. They lose the brown in their white feathers at around seven years. It's a nice shot, good detail and good DOF. As you say, beautiful eyes. I have a shot of a Bald Eagle of a similar age, he also has beautiful eyes. Good work.
Regards,
Adrian

Hello Marcin,
This is a very good portrait of this eagle!
I like so much the close approach and the eye contact. I really like that staring.
Very good POV and the way you managed the light and the composition.
Congratulations, thanks for share and best regards,
JM

great closeup. i'd have lightened the left eye a bit

Hi Marcin,

A good effort on this capture.
Your white balance was against you, I did a w.s. to help out.
It also revealed nice side lighting on the left side.

Nice close up with aesthetic illumination Marcin.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, DOF, focus, sharpness, color, lighting, background (real or PP?), framing.

I like it: notes.

I don't like it: nothing to quarrel.

Interesting post in spite of the captivity of the bird.
Cordially... Ricardo

Hello Marcin,
I agree with you about this look; it is very strong and impressive. You caught very nice details in a good POV. The centered composition works well here and this dark BG is much appropriated. I must say that the WS helps for the white balance but it is still a very nice post. Yes, this bird was in captivity but I guess that there is no way to take a similar picture with a wild bird :) Well done! Thanks,
Claudine

Hola Marcin.- Con la mirada siempre atenta como siempre son las de estas bellas aves. Muy nitida y con un fondo exelente. Me agrada el color de sus ojos. Luis52.

Czesc Marcin!
W niewoli, ale jakie oko! Bardzo ladny i bardzo kolorowy. Pioreczka widac dokladnie i ciemne tlo mi sie podoba.
