I always find half the beauty in these shots the details in the feathers etc, but the B&W conversion you've done seems to have lost a lot of that.

This version is quite interesting, especially the strong head area against a largely black background, but I'm not sure if it makes up for the loss of the other attributes.

I'm sure everyone is pointing out the halo, no? I also submitted a bird with a halo and am getting lots and lots of comments about it.

However, that's not the first thing I see here. I see the most beautiful BW tones, and outstanding bird-of-prey photo that sets itself apart from the myriads of eagle shots here. It's stunning.

Nice portrait, almost doesn't look alive! A bit dark for my tastes.

Unlike eagle photos we are accustomed to... I feel the top of wing might be over-brightened a tad, but I like the 40's portrait feel it has. Good photo!
