This is female Oriental honey buzzard. found her resting on the road which was quite lucky. The brown BG added well here.

Bhai, how do you manage to get such a low perspective without spooking the bird. Brilliant detail and sharpness, and the BG certainly makes this girl pop nicely. Very similar to our snake eagle.

[Robert Holguin]

Excellent shot. Great pose and agree that the background really makes the bird pop. Real nice detail and love that it has one of its talons curled up like a nuckle.
Well done.

Excellent techs. very nice composition, shooting angle, HA & lovely BG. TFS

[Alan Murphy]

This is a killer low angle image. Love the color and detail. The closed claw is great.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Mind blowing IQ. Love how the bird pops against the gorgeous color of "mere desh ki dhartee :)"
Top notch image, Kiran. Love it!

[Brendan Dozier]

Awesome looking bird, Kiran, and excellent capture and composition. Love the feathers sticking up on the head, and real nice rich, complimentary color for BG. Well done! :cheers:

Kiran, good to see the long neck of this species and the pigeon face...they are so different. low angle, BG and details are great. high IQ as usual. A tad space on top, if it were mine.

As usual, the IQ of this image is superb. The BG takes this already great image to another level. I also like the talons- looks like he has his "fingers" curled under and is tapping his (index ) finger. The linear catchlight in the eye is a bit odd. Why is it like that?
Wish this was mine,
Gail

Excellent image Kiran! I like the low angle, exposure, BG and IQ.

[Doug Brown]

The low angle, incredible BG, nice light, and excellent sharpness combine to produce one fine image Kiran! Like the contrasting positions of the talons too.

[Don Lacy]
