Terrific action captured.
Well exposed and great timing.
Well done.

Took similar myself two weeks ago but not as nicely done as this, I think I was too far away.

Really it's quite a good shot considering shooting into a bright sky which for me usually results in more of a dark silhouette than the nice underwing light such as you have achieved. Impressed that you got all 4 birds in the frame and we can see all their eyes, particularly the poor Eagle. There is some nice detail showing through particularly on the Eagle so I'd be quite pleased Ritesh....great image to have in anyone's collection

Nice action shot, great timing and good exposure. I like the upside down position of the Eagle.

[Arthur Morris]

You did quite well considering the relatively harsh light from our right. Nice job of flying upside down by the eagle.... The big problem here, and I do not think that anyone mentioned it, is that you over-lightened or over Detail Extracted the crows.... Yes their black feathers have detail but they look totally phony.....

Ritesh,

Nice timing for this capture. Definitely a nice keeper in my book, but I would think about darkening the blacks a little.

Definitely harassment. Great action. This really shows the size difference between these birds.
