Great low angle, excellent exposure, angle in frame,prey, breakers in background.

I would clone out the large specular highlight on the right.

Cheers

Great action/behavior, Vikram. Love the low perspective. The colors are all complementary. I agree on cloning out the highlight. I would give the head a little more sharpening. Well done!

Excellent shooting angle Vikar. Great eye contact and very nice details. Excellent image.

Lovely light and colours !!! + 1 on removing the highlights . But amazing one !!

[Siddhesh Bramhankar]

Great low angle and perfect low tide conditions.... Amazing details on bird as well as snake......

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice low angle and and I like the protective pose above the prey. I agree with the specular highlight removal suggestion and more sharpening on the subject. I would go into selective colour and remove the yellow to the blue channel (or add cyan)...this should give you a very pleasing hue to the water. I also would prefer a tad leass room at left and more at right (not much needed, but it would improve the balnce of the comp IMO). Very neat sighting, thanks for sharing!

Removed the yellow cast from the whites , added a bit to blue to the BG . Sharpened the bird .

Repost looks excellent...Rakesh brought out best in this image..

Rakesh thanks for the magical touch to the iamge. The specular highlight was really distracting. The brighter image especially on head looks fresh and lively.

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely pose and repost makes eagle pop nicely. Excellent work to get one with the snake. Looking forward to more.
