Good strong detail, nice pose. I like the dark, subdued background as it adds strong definition to the plumage.

what a great shot.. The bald eagle looks so humble what a change .. a symbol of things that might be.

What a wonderful portrait Luc, everything is just super sharp and I love your dark background.

I apologize for not being able to criticize but really there's nothing there that I find at fault.

Thanks for sharing Luc, it's definitely a keeper.

Luc, he makes me think he is an old man with his head down thinking. I like how his feathers are all bushed up. Wonderful composition and the details and colours are just perfect. Yes, I do like him. Thank you.

And the answer is...yes!

This is just fabulous. The shadow play and extra ordinary pose of this majestic creature is very nicely done, Luc. Tach sharp and set off against a dark DG makes it stand out. Top notch work.

BEAUTIFUL EAGLE PORTRAIT!

This is an excellent picture Luc! Sharpness is superb and exposure is excellent. Not much to say about composition since the bird fill the frame. But shadow details in the dark feathers are excellent, and same comment for highlight details in white featers. Finally, this head position is unusual but I realy love it.
Title could be changed for: " I should check with the Vet for Viagra " ;o)
Great work and TFS.

What an unusual photo. Very nice POV, from the back with the head turned to preen. Lighting is beautiful, accentuating the feathers, as is the fine clarity of the image. Good composition. TFS
