Wonderful work again!

Like Stephen I prefer the first version of the smoke but the second version of
the stone texture. The eagle gives the scale to the picture so I can see no
scaling problem. May it be Gwaihir, who must have the size of a condor at least.
But he still has blueish tail feathers which is not natural I think. On the
other hand you need to contrast the bird against the brown texture of the
stones. With the more or less brown feathers of a golden eagle you cannot get
this contrast. The black feathers makes the bird recognizable and may be this is
the best compromise. But due to this issue I liked your first picture better.
Why not have a fantasy eagle with blue-green feathers as with the first picture?

Best regards,
Michael
