My suggestions are:

--Crop in slightly to get the eagle to take up more of the frame
--Either get rid of the border/vignette, or keep it and do more processing to the photo. For me, that border is the focal point, and because the the photo itself hasn't had much post-processing, the border and photo just don't seem to work well together for me.

:-)

The border is too 'harsh,' I forgot to say!
