Banman1,
I like the 1st eagle image best....it looks maybe a little over-sharpened and I would change the crop to minimize the perch and add some to the top and some to the left side to give the bird a space to look into.
On the second one you lost the shadows too much, you reprocess and work with the shadow/highlights adjustment.
Joel
Neuroanatomist,
The hawk portrait is very nice, sharp with good colors, the only critique I can offer would be maybe to dodge the dark are below and in front of the eye and perhaps add some to right and crop some from the left to get the eye out of the center of the frame.

I can crop some from the left to get the eye out of the center...but I can't add anything to the right - the shot is uncropped.
Joel, nice shot, everything looks just perfect to me, sharpness, color, pose, compose ....., only one thing, could it be better if it had narrower DoF?
