| Crystal clear photo. Very nicely exposed. Have to admit that I cringe at the overwrought, "patriotic" title, but I certainly won't mark down a great photo for that. |

| Is the flag real or added in afterwards? Works well |

| Classic concept and I don't like patriotic shots but this is done so well I've got to give you praise for it nonetheless. - 9 |

| Freedom endangered; not as long as this one is on guard. Very patriotic. |

| Wonderful - he feels crowded in the front, however. Could he have more room to look into the future with, maybe a little less room behind him? It feels unbalanced to me. 9 |

| A great idea that is well executed. Focus is great and acceptably sharp, although I personally would prefer it slightly sharper. |

| Is the eagle really in front of the flag and if so where were you when you took this shot. Great job - 9- K |

| I am a collector of eagle photographs. I have more than I can even count at this time, but I have never seen one that is this up-close and shows such clear and concise detail of the animal. This is a fantastic photograph! |

| My favorite of the bird shots---the title also says a lot. |

| Love this composition with the way you've capatured the eagle's profile with the American flag in the background. I think the white feathers are a bit lacking in detail, but still, very nice job. |

| Wow! Did you add the background, or just happen to have it in the right place? this is just perfect. |

| Really a nice all around shot. Very sharp eagle head and I like the background you chose. |

| Nice and sharp (perhaps only ever so slightly oversharpened), nicely blurred background. I'd have been tempted to apply NeatImage just to the background. However, you have chosen to centre your subject in the frame. This tends not to work to well with animals, as the point of focus is always the eyes, and here the eye looks as if it has not been placed at a deliberate point within the frame. I would have centred the eye, which would also have given the eagle some negative space to look into. Shame some of the white of the eagle's head has been cropped off. I think you could have brought out more highlight detail in PS. |

| Classic. Too bad you couldn't have gotten a little of the red in there. It would have really made the subject stand out. |

| Cool photos, I'm not an anti-patriot, just that I've seen 4 other eagles from this challenge. This is the nicest one thus far 6 |
