Lion Face

[Kiran Poonacha]

Got This Snake Eagle just after sunset ( its the best time to get them on the ground also they are bolder when it gets dark) the mild wind from the back gave the face a mane like effect.

Spec: 1/125, F 6.3, ISO 800.

MK4+500mm+1.4TC

Regards,

Kiran.

Gorgeous image...I love the quality of your work and the low ange and BG work a treat...Great image Kiran:cheers:

Well, perfect for me.
I like the way the eagle is slightly watching to the right and not directly to us.

Stunning image Kiran. :)
Almost look like an owl. :S3:

Truly spectacular image Kiran. The raptor and BG just blend so well, and I love the wind-blown crown and head turn. The eyes are piercing. Congrats!

Kiran, what a stunning shot. perfect DOF, shooting angle, BG, exposure, killer sharpness and one heck of a pose. And your signature high IQ. Loved it a lot.

If anything, I'd like to see a tad more room above.

Amazing amazing image Kiran Bhai. Ditto all of the above, plus, your images make me want to move to Bengaluru.

Kiran, Stunning image. I like the pose and inclusion of the rock. Complimentary background colors add to this.:S3:

[Daniel Cadieux]

The only thing that could have made this better would have been for this beautiful individual to perch atop the small rock for a view of the talons:S3: Can't ask for everything!! Wonderful image Kiran all around..from exposure to sharpness, to low angle and BG...

[Kiran Poonacha]

I love this shot so much that I keep coming back....:) wish it was mine.

Sure bro, come to India I will try my best to make it happen. :5

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thank you all my Dear Friends for your kind words of appreciation.

[Stu Bowie]

Kiranbhai, great IQ, and just love the eye contact. I like the soft light, colours and sharpness, and the windswept feathers behind the head adds interest. Well captured.

[Tom Rambaut]

One of the best images I've seen of this species!!
