Changeable Hawk-eagle

I know the HA police is going to get me for this...;) I got this guy in some more orthodox poses, but still like this one best.

Shot at the wonderful Yala National Park, Sri Lanka.

Ignacio, The head angle is oh so close to being good. The overhead light is actually a bigger problem with the dark shadow on the deep eye socket... Sharp, good EXP, and cool screaming pose. The perch and the bush are less than ideal.

I would have never figured it out. Great tip Artie.

Thanks Sid but I am confident that you would have figured it out. BTW, a good deal of fill flash say at zero would have helped with the shadow.
