A good spot Jerry.
For me the background is a bit too cluttered. Even though the colours do not clash with the eagle there is just too much detail there.
I also notice that although most of the eagle is nice and sharp there seems to be a loss of sharpness in the white feathers immediately to the right of the beak and eye.

I like the setting and it's not to busy for me. I agree that there seems to be a loss of sharpness in the head feathers and I think it would be better if he was looking up or had a better head turn but still a good shot.

The surroundings are fine for me for an eagle. Nice light. I like the composition. I agree about the loss of sharpness in the head feathers to the right of the beak.

Looks very nice Jerry.
I especially like the evergreen perch/setting. Details & all
No nits from me, well done!
