This is one of my two images that were selected to represent India in the FIAP photography world cup, it was team event and India won the world cup for the first time in projected images category. Italy were the overall winners and India was placed second.
This image was made after sunset, the bird is a short toed snake eagle and the snake is a buff stripped keel back. no extra work done on the eyes.
