Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. Wow, great focus on the two eagles for we see some really nice details in their feathery bodies and head. While you have captured great detail, I think there are still two areas of work that can greatly improve this good shot. First, the color hues seem a tad washed out - contrast and a little saturation boosts can really shine the spotlight on this capture. The main focus is on these two majestic birds - nothing wrong with bringing us closer to fully appreciate their beauty. Cropping out the branch at the bottom will do so and further increase the appreciation of this photo.

This feel a little awkward to me but it's a great subject.

Nice shot of these eagles. Could use a bit of sharpening though.

Yes, this has to be a special gem of a photo. You captured so much in your photo, love the clear sharp color. Fantastic.

May have boosted the color slightly but still a beautiful capture. Well done.

Nice photo of the eagles, I like the one on the left the best, the one on the right seems a bit fuzzy.

hard to control the exposure on those white feathers
  Photographer found comment helpful.

great capture - miss some details

Very regal animals. So intense.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 12:19:24 PM
Very nice shot. Love the detail on their feather.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 09:15:58 AM
Nice shot, although perhaps slightly soft with a touch of blow out on some of the white areas.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:35:53 AM
Nice work getting them in this setting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:25:38 PM
Wow 2 in one spot. Great soft glow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 04:11:02 PM
This is a cool capture (even if it's a zoo shot), but it's lacking a bit on the technicals. It seems overly smoothed out (like it's been neat imaged), and the whites are blown on most of right eagle's head.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 02:11:46 PM
A bit OOF but good pic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:57:20 PM
Beautiful birds with wonderful eyes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:47:01 AM
did you find these out in the wild? How unusual, I recently caught one here in FL...but my lens didn't do it justice...what lens are you using...and about how far away are you...such bold detail...very good
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:49:26 PM
Image feels a bit soft and flat. I wish the colors stood out a little more or less.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:11:39 PM
nice detail
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:40:23 PM
Such majestic birds!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:29:07 PM
a bit of contrast of the birds would make them stand out a bit more
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:38:35 PM
Good composition, a touch soft by some standards here, but still very good... 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:46:28 PM
Nice and natural looking. Needs more contrast for some color punch but still great subjects.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:35:02 AM
Nice birds.

Great looking birds

Like an old married couple in some sort of petty argument. Suddenly, he finds the remote under the sofa cushion just where she said to look and the only thing he can say in response is "where the hell is my salmon??" :)

Very proud and powerful, and this brings that out, well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:08:14 AM
Looks like the one on the left is talking. I imagine these American eagles are telling each other political jokes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:52:00 PM
fierce lookin - nice close-up...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:48:36 PM
pretty birds, the one on the left is posed so perfect he could have his own photo. seems a bit over processed though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:06:16 PM
White of the feathers are blown... details lost, but still it's sharp.

Not voting yet.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:36:10 PM
Its nice... but some of the other eagle shots here are tough competition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:50:29 PM
Two for the price of one. Good capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:38:13 PM
Nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:24:59 PM
We've seen a lot of Bald Eagle shots, but I don't think I've seen any close-ups with two of them. Good catch.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:55:14 PM
I like the position of their heads. The colours are a bit dull though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:41:47 PM
Beautiful capture

great composition and light.

Lovely pair of birds, great composition!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:03:01 AM
Nice effort, the image is just not crisp enough. The whites on the right eagle has lost too much details.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:15:39 AM
The eyes have it!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:54:19 AM
not so glorious IMO, these look captive. You definitely need a better lens, you have sever chromatic aberration, overall the image is too soft. Also needs a tad more saturation and a pass of sharpening. Don't care for the blown lights, BTW
