 Captive eagle captured at Singapore's Jurong Bird Park.
I was so fortunate to have this bird come down from it's perch to
have a drink. I can tell you what an amazing bird it was. Really made me
sad thinking that this magnificent bird ought to be soaring freely
instead of being cooped up.

A memorable sight and you captured this eagle's essence. You have some nice photo locations in Singapore...

Excellent detail, particularly in the eye, and good rich color. Looks like a bad hair day, too. :-) Seriously, great shot.

Great detail (feathers even look wet) and lovely color and bokeh in the background to set him off. Maybe could use a smidge more DOF to get all the neck feathers in focus.

Great colors on the beak.
