I do hope that you did remove that sharpening preset at raw editing, because if you didnt you just made a fool out of yourself. Enyway sometimes lens can be too sharp for the situation or there might be too much clarity to start with, thats why you can set clarity to minus on raw settings and thats why there is blurring tools. My critique wasnt random,. you just see it that way because deep inside it tears you apart when you think that you made something perfectly and someone says that you didnt. Dont think too much from yourself..
People at flickr rarerilly gives eny type of critism, they just say something like nice shot if they think its good enough, if they want comments back from you or if they feel oblicated to say something cuz they added pic to some add 1 comment 3 groups.. This can give the false expression of them thinking that your shot is better than they really think. Especially if you get much comments because you got your pic in 20+ groups, your active in the community and you got intresting subject, you might think that the pic in its technical side is better than it actually is.
And unlike you might think, im not saying this to be mean at you, im saying this because you really need to get back to earth, once you get here youll be able to enjoy things better, because youll be able to see whats real.
What comes to that eagle pic, subject is great, angle is great, cropping is allmoast good but still fails and i see bit mosaic on it thats coming from oversharpness.
It's shot Jpeg, no clue where you bring RAW into this...
It's straight out of camera except for black & white and contrast boost filter in Lightroom 2.
