I like the pose with the head turn. Good detail. I like the perch angling upward with the eagle looking down the same line.

Lovely detail and light, Ken, and I like the pose a lot. You might look at taking a bit off the right.

Beautiful bird and an excellent shot, Ken! The exposure is perfect as are the details and colors. The only thing I would suggest would be a slight crop on the right and even on the top to keep the original aspect ratio. It would have the added advantage of bringing the bird a just a bit closer.
