Description
The bald eagle is a symbol of freedom. In 1782 it was chosen as the American National Bird. Also in 1782 the eagle became the central figure in the official national seal. The designer originally drew in the golden eagle, but since the golden eagle lives in both Europe and America the American bald eagle was used instead. The Great Seal shows a wide-spread eagle, faced front, having on his breast a shield with thirteen perpendicular red and white stripes, surmounted by a blue field with the same number of stars.
The bald eagle is the emblem of twelve states and is the symbol of many companies and organizations across the country. On the backs of american gold coins, the silver dollar, the half dollar and the quarter, we see an eagle with it's wings spread out.

For some reason I'm reminded of the Karsh portrait of Winston Churchill. The one where to finally get a reaction out of the great statesman Karsh took away his trademark cigar. The resulting look was a man not to be trifled with. This portrait of the eagle is imho very similar...a creature not to be trifled with. Nice image Danny! vote -jay
