    nice capture. if it were me, i'd try a closer crop, and bump up the contrast.

    I can only imagine the chimping after you shot..."did I get it?...Yes!!!"

    Great shot. I agree with Pyro; Nice crop with some post production and you will have a real quality entry. Good luck!

    Wow! Great shot. I agree with the others--a bit tighter crop, and more contrast would really make this stand out.

    Thanks guys, but there is no more cropping that can be done to this shot.
    It "almost" at a 100% crop, and if I bump up the contrast, the eagle turns completely black.
    So it's pretty much is like this, or I need to try some thing else.

    Curves
    Great Shot!
    Just some thoughts...
    Don't know what you could do about cropping but if you play with curves for a bit it may help with contrast. A tutorial that I found helpful is at http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2292454/1

    I did a quick curves and shadow/highlight adjustment and found quite a bit of an improvement.

    I'd like to thank the folks that PM'd me, and gave me ideas about how to crop this shot.

    As the flu swept through our house, I was in no shape to act on these ideas.
    Maybe next time.
