Not too sure of the HA, but felt it had enough and loved the breeding plumage.

super topside details and pose and a nice prey item Kiran

[Robert vanMierop]

Excellent image. No problem with the HA as the bird appears to be looking slightly to his right...toward US.

[gail bisson]

Simply superb. Even the bug is looking the right way. BG, IQ, exposure- all good!!

Fantasitc.

[Dumay de Boulle]

WOW!!! You have some skill behind the camera that many of us dream of...Lovely detail and BG. IQ is top class as always and the catch takes it over the top. Congrats Kiran!

[Daniel Cadieux]

That looks pretty darn good Kiran. I wouldn't worry about HA in this case...what a magnificient image! Love the colours, background, prey item, overall IQ.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Stunning Kiran WOW love it.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

nothing new to add. And nothing can be done to improve this IMO :-) absolutely stunning. the colors, DOF, prey, angle, BG...liked it all. Are they common in the south? I have seen them a few times on my visits to southern India but never that close and at eye level.

[Danny Laredo]

Killer image Kiran.

[Frank Schauf]
