Single powerful bald eagle clutching American flag in sharp talons, wings spread wide in dominant display, white head ruffled, beak open in fierce cry. Flag gripped tightly in both talons, fabric bunched, stars and stripes visible, flowing behind in wind. Detailed talons with black claws, muscular legs, brown wing feathers layered. Flag extending behind eagle, waving dramatically, stripes creating dynamic lines. Stormy dramatic sky, dark grey clouds, lightning illuminating scene, backlit eagle with bright edges. Guardian protector energy, patriotic resilience theme, intense gripping scene
