Oh yeah, that's much more reminiscent of an eagle now. Got the flatter slopped head shape, thicker neck. Good going.
Body is at a different angle than head - you've drawn the head in almost pure profile, which is easy to do, but if was at the same angle as the body it would look a little more dynamic.
Feathers on breast/far wing look clumpy. If they weren't modifying the eagle's outer edge they might not look wonky. Time to continue detailing out that near wing, it's black outline will be removed I assume.
Juxtaposition of the clouds and sun to eagle doesn't feel right, seems too convenient, the way they don't encroach on the eagle but instead are prefectly adjacent. This is an automatic result of not considering your composition carefully enough. Eagle seems to be rendered in a much more realistic way than the background, especially that cartoony sun. The sun is just a simple bright sphere. It's snaking archs of fire aren't visible to us from here.
The scene appears to be in the upper atmosphere, how about a subtle horizon line at the bottom, some mountains, etc, unless you're going for stratosphere.

I think you're depending too much on lines to indicate the feathers. They stick out like a sore thumb for me, primarily the bright ones on the chest.

Just a bit weird for me, that must be one high ass tree, soaring above the clouds and other flying eagles.
