One from my archive, was just learning PP those days ( about a year nad Half back) Have cloned out all the white back light patches inbetween the leaves in the BG and also done out some distracting branches. did not know the skill of slective noise cleaning those days, so NI applied on full image. will dig out the old file to do up later, just wanted to share this beautiful bird from this part of the world.

spec: 1/500, F 6.3, ISO 640

Kiran Bhai (Raptor Master of India:D;)), Love the colors on this amazing bird. Scream really adds to the power of this guy. Also wish for better head angle. Still a great image, Congrats

Hey brother, apart from the slightly away angle of the head, I like the calling pose, and raised crest feathers. It always amazes me how they use there talons to hang onto perches.

A slight head turn would be great. Your learning curve is sharp. You have improved by leaps and bounds. Keep it up. Look forward to this years images.

Cheers,

Wonderful shot Kiran. Amazing what a few months will do, and you have certainly come on in leaps and bounds. Well worth considering re-working the RAW. Nicely done.

Cool-looking bird, raised crest, calling pose and BG. Too bad there is no eye contact. The whites look a bit blueish on my monitor.
