The image is a close-up portrait of a bird of prey, specifically a golden eagle. The eagle's head is in focus, while the background is blurred, making the eagle's face the focal point of the image. The bird's eyes are a piercing yellow, and its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take flight. Its feathers are a mix of brown and white, with a hint of black, and it appears to be looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. The image is taken from a slightly elevated angle, so the eagle is the only source of light in the frame.
