Whoa, this is fantastic Vishal. The action is superb and the eagle's head turn makes this image. Love the light and the bg too.
Excellent work!

Hi Vishal, to be honest, the eagle is so good with a great HA and wing position, and the crow has no head showing, that if it were mine I would remove the crow and concentrate the shot on the eagle. I love the over the shoulder look back with a nice catchlight. I like interaction shots but this one needs a head IMO. Techs look great too. Nice work.

Hi Vishal, great interaction between the two, pity no eye from the crow, but the look back pose from the eagle makes up for it. I do like the flying pose of the eagle, and against a sweet BG. I think David has a point to try a version without the crow.

Great job on capturing these 2 sharp and in flight with a doubler on!!! Love that background. Dumps are very often a terrific place to go for bird photography!!!

David,
I guess the only reason the eagle gave me a head turn was due to the crow hence posted with the crow. This is one more in the series where the Crow is behind the eagle but not close , let me know if this works
Stuart,
Let me know if this suits more

Way Better!! The eagle is in virtually the same position and the crow is not as close but has a great head and wing position. It even has a catchlight. Nice!

This is extraordinary image (second post). Both the birds are in sharp focus. Smooth BG and lovely light.

Vishal, the second post is definitely a better of the to for me as now one can see the chase and the eye of the crow. Excellent light, sharpness, details, colors and a sweet BG.

Repost superbut both are exceptional. Crows always give raptors lots of hassle.
Top action, top shot

I guess we have those preferences for few of the shots, in the first shot the left wing of the eagle is more upright making it more interesting to me, secondly the crow is close to show that they like plucking the feathers, the claws of the crow are pointing towards the wing of the eagle, well its just that we all have our own views and thats what makes it more interesting otherwise we would have all imagined the subjects in same place and same angles making it **** monotonous to look at .

The repost has worked wonders and I loved it, this is a very good documentation of the 2 birds and you managed to get them both in sharp focus and eye contact. Brilliant work and thanks for sharing
