nicely timed image...liked the concentration in the action of the bird... that small droplet just falling off and the 2 below the breast band add nicely...could the eye region be recovered a little in PP??


-Cheers,
Rohan

Love the wing position and the concentration look on this guy. Maybe a catch light might help bring out the eye more.

Love the muted BG color and the great wing position. The water droplet is nice too. If only you had a little more eye contact.

Great wing position and look of concentration! A little more eye contact would be nice but he is hunting and the prey is his concern. A real beauty Harshad!

Cool hovering pose and BG. I would try to get more details in the blacks, particularly the eye and tone down the highlights.

Like the wing position & composition. Pity you could not get catchlight in the eye. Ditto Axel on blacks & highlights.:)

Lovely wing spread you have caught here, Harshad . IMHO, the contrast is a bit on the higher side , and +1 on the catchlight .

Harshad, liked the BG and pose. I also think that playing a bit with contrast might help.

Fabulous pose and love that little water drop Harshad. Any work on the eye will take it up a level.
