    Nice pose and detail!
    Angle a bit steep and perch less than ideal but still a keeper for sure!

    Might selectively tone down the perch a bit and take some off the top.

    What a terrific looking hawk. Lovely pose and details with a super BG. Not sure how much of a crop this is or whether you may have been able to back up. If so, photographing from a little farther back and cropping a little more would have cut off some of your angle. That said, I still think this is a very nice capture as is.

    Beautiful, a species we see in more rural remote regions in Australia. Lovely detail and blue sky backdrop, showing the chest markings, glint in the eye as well. looks well handled.....I feel a bit tighter in the frame would be even nicer, or at least crop a little from the top

    Very nice specimen and light catch in the eye Sanjeev. I like the bit of foliage at the bottom but wish the small branch angling up to the bird's belly wasn't there - it tends to confuse what is tail and what is perch.

    Hey Sanjeev,
    I like tighter crops.....so all around would work better comp wise for me and I do like the suggestions above on toning down the perch. Easy adjustments to a very nice image!
