Help, please, before printing

I fully agree with that analysis and suggestions. I flip images often for compositional reasons. We in the Americas and Europe and much of the world read left to right. Asia and Middle East often Right to Left. It makes a difference when viewing a photograph.
Thanks for the suggestion. I never thought of this before.

ALL is pretty GREAT on my monitor ! - If anything, as mentioned, darken the head feathers and the sky and - I would take some red out of the midtones and add blue to the midtones to make the greens in the trees pop and the blues in the sky pop - at least that's how I do it in Elements 9. This will also cool the warm WB - some .....thanks for sharing
Thanks very much Jack

Very nice image! Just a couple suggestions:
- It seems a little too warm, leaving the sky slightly too red and making the background stand out a little too much for my taste. A white balance adjustment could fix both. (Assuming my monitor's settings are similar to yours or the printer's.)
- Agree with burkphoto that the blown-out white on the eagle's head needs to be corrected, especially if the photo is to be enlarged as you indicated.

I would NOT flip the photo under any circumstances. We do things in a natural left to right progression, which is what you have here. To me, flipping it would look awkward.

Bill,
Beautiful eagle shot, and I think it will make a fine wall print!
Agree that you are constrained in cropping by those wonderful wingtips, and I don't think anything on the far right side adds anything, so I would probably go landscape in an 8 1/2 X 11 ratio, and not clip the branches off of that tree on the left way in the background.
Size would be up to the client, but it certainly looks like it could support big. There is always Topaz Sharpen and Gigapixel if you think it needs any help.
Good job, and let us know how it turns out,
Marshall

For me the background of multi colors detracts from the detail you captured in the eagle. A blue sky with some water and the reeds plus the flipped version might be a lot better for me

You already have a lot of good suggestions but mine would be simple. What ever you choose for the background, blur it so it does not take away from the glorious eagle. Yes, do what you can with the slightly blown out head.

Great Shot and worth being on a wall. I did the following to your photo.
1) Topaz Studio AI Clear
2) Exposure adjust a little
3) Clarity a little
4) Topaz Denoise AI
I thought it looked a little better.
