Cropped. Sharpened. Resized.

Lighting Contrast and taking this from a boat on a choppy lake made this shot difficult for me.

Nice shot of the eagle. If the sky was bluer the white head would have stood out even more.

The soft focus of this image suggest that you may be experiencing a little bit of camera shake or that you need to sharpen the image after reducing the size. I like the subject matter of this image and the title even made me smile, as it is a play on words for the recent US holiday, Independance Day. The lighting makes it hard to see detail in the eagle but this could be improved using levels or curves. I also suggest that you might want to use a square crop, removing as much of the right side of the image as possible to reduce the negative space. My eyes want to look in the direction that the eagle is looking; however the negative space and the slant of the tree brach draw my eyes to the right side of the image.

I wish that the eagle were a little bit more in focus, but good shot!
