WoW, the shading is very great, he's look very realistic, in overal this is very great.
Awesome Work!

I would guess that this is a Golden Eagle? Has the same shape face as opposed to the bigger beaked Sea Eagle. Anyeay whatever eagle it is its drawn beautifully. I like the washed out effect on the far wing too. Great drawing

It's beautifull! I lov how you shadede the head and, specially the beak and the eyes. Really amazing!

agree with andy about the wing... gives a fine 3d-effect to the whole image.
and i know about the draw-a-lot-in-the-past-problem... really sad.
but seems like YOU had to go on, eh!?

Oh well, good to know the talent is still there eh
I am amazed, great job!

Awesome!! from photo?

woow awesome i think i s a very realistic pencil artwork +10/10

Thank you all! All your nice and encouraging words have really lifted me the last days. You know, it was about half a year ago that I made this drawing, and I haven't done anything since then either. Now though, all your kind words gave me the inspiration to pick up my pencil and start drawing again! So now there's one more piece coming, I guess in a couple of days. I'm thrilled, having lots of fun. I assure you, it will be far better than this one... So thanks again for giving me back the joy of drawing!

Oh, and I should answer your questions too:

 thienbao: Yep it's from a photo. Id provide a link if I had one, but I saw it in a magazine and not on the web.

 Andy--Jones: I have no idea what kind of an eagle it is. I just found a reference picture I really liked, and went along. But thanks for telling!

Really wonderful! I would love to see a lot more work created with this skill and attention to detail! Great job - thank you for sharing it.

Amazing! (That's all I can really say!) +7/7!

Hey! great job! I am in the same boat. Ironically I just finished a pic like this after some time. This place is great for encouraging words and inspiration. Keep up the good work and I'll see you around! Congrats on the great piece

OMG!
You have patience....too much...
Good work man

amazing details.... although it look uncomplete... but it already can kill~
very good in the shading and rendering~

yeah... it's sad alright.
'cause u'r good with pencils man.

Sad indeed! This is so beautiful. Not only have you mastered your techniques with the pencil, but also you have captured that oh-so-elusive essence that makes artwork live.

Excellent work.

very good drawing!! +10
