First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is super amazing!

I love the background. It makes this photo look like a painting. A lot of times I tend to not like photographs that look like paintings because they are too edited for me but this one is really cool plus it looks like you did not even do a super lot of editing to get the background to look like that!

I love this eagle's face! He looks confused, mad, angry, fierce, and more!

I love the colors of this eagle. This eagle has yellow, brown, black, purple and lots of other gorgeous colors all blending in on its body.

This photo is totally shocking to me as it is so cool. I love literally EVERYTHING about it. The eagle, the background, how the eagle looks like it is coming out of the darkness, and lots of other things too!

So wonderful job on this photo and taking a photo good enough to be my First Place Winner!!!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is very cool.

I love the darkness of this photo. It somehow makes me feel like I am in another realm or something by how this photograph looks with its pure darkness except for the eagle and the branch!

I love how sharp this eagle is!

I also love this eagle's expression and how it looks like it is showing off its wings.

It is cool how you darkened the edges of this branch because it gives it an interesting effect to it.

So great job on this photo and taking a photo good enough for 10th Place!

This photo you have taken here is awesome.

I love the background and the bokeh! It looks so pretty and makes this photograph super nice. I also like how you got in the right angle to where the eagle's head is clean in the colorful background, and its body is in the plants. This way you can see this eagle's head perfectly!

I love how this eagle looks so interested in something. It looks like it is very curious and pretty happy!

I love how this entire photo has a summer/fall feeling to it. It is how the eagle looks and how the plants look, but of course mainly the background.

So wonderful job on this photo and taking a photo good enough for Sixth Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is so cool!

I love the green background and how it makes this eagle's head stand out greatly.

I love the colors of this eagle. It has brown everywhere except its eye and beak! This is very cool because it makes this photo burst with the little bit of color that it has, just like a selective color image.

The sharpness of this photograph is really good. You can see every detail so perfectly.

I also like how you set the brightness of this photo PERFECTLY! It is bright, but not even close to being overexposed.

So fabulous job on this photo and taking a photo good enough for Seventh Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is really amazing and cool.

I love this eagle's open mouth and how angry and fierce it looks!

I also love how bright yellow its beak is! Some eagles have just light yellow beaks but this one has a super bright one! Plus all of the other colors are bright too, maybe this is because you edited it?

Another thing that is great about this photo is the sharpness! Every Little Detail can be easily seen in this photo by how you have edited it, and also since there is a black background that you have added to the photo.

So awesome job on this photo! It really shows how fierce a Bald Eagle can be!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is very cool.

I love this eagle's expression! Here is yet another photo from this contest where the eagle looks like it is in deep thought!

I love the detail, you can see its feathers (especially the white ones around its neck) so perfectly!

I like this eagle's eye because it looks huge and menacing!

I like the dark green background since green always makes a subject stand out and since a dark background usually makes a subject stand out! Perfect combination.

This photo is pretty simple so there is not a super lot more to mention but the last thing I want to say is that you did a terrific job on capturing this eagle's expression!

So great job on this photo and taking a photo good enough for Ninth Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is super cool!

I love how you have perfectly captured this eagle in landing mode! Its talons are out, its wings are vertical and its head is down. Perfect action shot!!!

I love the plants in the background because they make the photo much more interesting because without them, the background would just be plain and grey, not that this is bad or anything, it is just that those plants make the background even more interesting!

I like the tree stump that this eagle is about to land on. It looks so old and has many chips, busted parts, and other stuff clearly stating that this trunk is very old!

I love the detail that this eagle has! This picture is nice and bright and you can see every little detail on this eagle.

So fabulous job on this photo and taking a photo good enough for Fourth Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is very good.

I love how you took a perfect action shot with the water droplets falling, the fish trying to get away, the eagle determined to keep its prey and the darkness of the trees making everything stand out perfectly!

I love how this eagle stands out so good that it almost looks like you added it to the photo!

I love the perfect detail of this photo. You can see everything so well that each and every water droplet shows up!

So amazing job on this photo and taking a photo good enough for Eighth Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is so amazing.

I love how these eagles look more determined then angry or mad because usually a fight between any animal (especially a bird) would look and be a lot more meaner than this (or maybe this was just a lucky shot that made it look like these eagles weren't very mad!)

I love the absolute elegance, colors and majesty that these eagles have. They are so amazing. Bald Eagles are pretty cool birds too but these ones are so much more interesting (or maybe these are immature eagles which means they have not grown their adult resemblance yet!)

I can't believe how you were able to take a photo this good of these eagles! You captured every little detail that these eagles have!

So amazing job on this photo and taking a photo good enough for Fifth Place!

First of all, thanks for entering my contest.

This photo you have taken here is very interesting and cool.

I love the detail and how you can see the feathers (especially the feathers on the top of this eagle's head).

Another thing that is cool is how everything in this entire photo is brown except for the black background! Even this eagle's eye is brown!!!

I like how this eagle looks so interesting and wise. This eagle looks as if it is thinking of something very important, maybe not though, it might just be the way that it looks.

And the last thing I wanted to point out is the fabulous Sharpness of this image! The sharpness is extreme. I hope that you didn't have to focus stack to get this picture to look like this! I wouldn't think that you would have to focus stack for a photo like this but who knows. Anyway great job on the sharpness because a majority of photos are not sharp enough and do not have enough detail!

So fabulous job on this photo and taking a photo good enough for Second Place!
