    Looks like a fierce predator. Love those eyes! Sharp, exposure looks good, raised foot a huge plus. Very well done.

    Sanjeev:

    Sharp, well exposed, great eye contact, foot up a plus, good shooting angle, soft BG.

    Very nice.

    Cheers

    Sanjeev,

    The raised foot definitely takes it to the next level. That little bit of dynamic feel really adds a lot. Nice bg, and great sharpness around the face/eyes.

    What a great stare down you have here. This image is so well exposed and so sharp. The leg up is awesome. Colors all go very well together. You must be very pleased with this one.

    Hi Sanjeev, great low shooting angle, and well timed to get the raised foot. I do like how the bird pops from the BG, and overall, nice and sharp.

    Love the walking motion, and both eyes are quite stunning. Low angle works well, and the autumn setting is beautiful. I'd be tempted to tone down the ground though..it feels a little bright to me. You must be happy with this one - I'd be!

    An excellent image Sanjeev. The pose is excellent and the eye contact at this low angle is perfect. Your composition is perfect and so is the image quality. Very nice work!
