Nice aggressive pose of the Shikra Satish. I agree the light was a bit harsh and angle not ideal but still a nice image.

That's different...for the better, not the usual wing form we see but he/she looks intent on something below....great eyes Satish

Nice pose and details.

Nice stretching pose with a cool looking perch. The eye is the focal point as it is bright and sharp. Like the comp too. Good work Satish.

[jack williamson]

Unique pose, looks like he is trying to scare somebody. Not the best lighting situation, the eye is brilliant.

[Karl Egressy]

hi Satish,very Nice pose and details.

Hi Satish. I like unusual or different poses and this one fits the bill! Nice comp, sharpness, and background. I also like that the bird is not looking directly at the camera. While the light angle is not "ideal," it is not bothering me as you have good detail in the shadows. Very nicely done!

The light is nice and so are the details, a very different pose that we see normally
