[Sidharth Kodikal]

Canon 50D, 300 2.8, 2x
1/500, f5.6 +12/3 ev, then pulled back in DPP

A cloudy day made me venture out at noon ... the light was gorgeous until I got this guy in the view finder :)
The sun came out with the harsh light. I wish I had used fill flash.

All comments and critiques appreciated.

Nice angle and composition. I like the unusual pose.

I like the angle, alert takeoff (?) pose, BG and eye contact. I wish the light were less harsh and the sun behind you. The recovered whites on above the beak look a bit pinkish on my monitor.
