Greetings from the Critique Club!
To quote someone famous, Ah feel yer pain. This flat grey winter sky we get is capable of giving a dull, boring cast to even the most dynamic subject, and I can see the eagle starting to lower into that half-crouch and lift its wings. It would be great to see if you got any shots following this one of the bird in flight. Too bad these birds like coastal areas, where murky skies are often the norm!
Technically, I would have cropped out a little more on the bottom, and the right, so the eagle wouldn't be so centred, and done a little cloning to remove the pine needles sprouting from the head. I do agree to an extent that more pp could have made the image pop a little more, but on the other hand you don't want to go overboard.
Otherwise, a very decent shot considering the light you had to work with. Keep up the good work!
Feel free to PM me with any questions,
