    Good details, exposure is spot on, and I like the BG. I do wish to have seen more of the shoulders with their neat colourings though, and I find the shadow on the eye a tad strong.

    Hi Sanjeev, great HA, and I actually like the comp as is. Yes to spot on exposure, and what a great view of the beak. Killer BG as mentioned by Dan.

    Very nice head shot Sanjeev. Agree that it would be better if the eye shadow was not so strong.

    This image really emphasizes that serious raptor bill. You could try reducing the darks on that eye shadow. This presentation is lovely. Another possibility is a vertical to show more of the bird.

    Thank you all. I have another image showing more of the shoulder as suggested by Dan and Nancy. Will post it soon. I will try to lighten the shadow on the eye as mentioned by Daniel. Thanks once again.
