I truly feel proud to present some of the beautiful raptors we are blessed with in India to the world. I take this oppurtunity on my 1000th post to thank all of you dear people from my heart for all the guildence and encouragement you have give me here at BPN to improve my photographic skills. Great to be a part of this family.

Thanks Again,

Kiran,
This is excellent! I like the head angle, feather detail and the BG. The thing that really makes it for me though is the detail on the spread talons. Congratulations on your 1000th post.
