Image was created in Sept; 2012.Cropped for composition and sharpened. One third part of BG on the RHS was replaced with colors on the LHS. Perch darkend.
ISO: 400, 1/640 @ F: 6.3.
WB: Auto. HH. Canon: 550D, 400mm.
Thanks for viewing and appreciation. C & C are highly appreciated.
Satish, this is great love the pose the perch and dark bg . Wish for a slightly better head turn but still awesome
Satish:
Sharp and well exposed, prey item adds a little pop of color, the toned down perch, although large, doesn't overpower the bird, because he stands out so well from the dark bg.
Cheryl touched on the head angle.
Cheers

Hi Satish,
I like the prey in the mouth and the cocked up tail. Nice clean BG. HA addressed. Nice and sharp.
I think the perch looks very odd. The color looks unnatural to my eye and the right side of the perch and tip of tail look "pasted on" . I would soften/blur the edge of the rock and back off on the burning of the perch. It might be better to select the perch and reduced the brightness as opposed to changing the exposure with the burn tool.

Thank you all for the feed back and nice comment.
Gail;
Thanks a lot for the comments. Agree with you about perch, I have tried to rectify the problem. Here is the repost. I will Reprocess the image again.

Perch looks much better but you still need to soften the tail edges! Aren't I bossy?!

Thanks.

Terrific shot, Satish. Love the dark bg, the almost fluorescent prey, and the alert pose. Last repost helps.
Very nice shot.
I really like the dark background, sharp, and excellent job on getting it with it's meal in its beak.
Well done.
You are certainly getting there Satish, a very nice image(s) I must admit the first image made me look a few times at the tail. Maybe consider refining the edge a little to soften it?
