I have posted the same bird (tail included) in the Avian forum. When I first saw him, he was quiet close & I was shooting in landscape mode, I couldn't include the tail. Then I switched to vertical and got him full in frame. Though the tail is missing, I felt it was an imposing portrait of this awesome bird.

Sanjeev, I agree. This is quite an impressive portrait despite the clipped tail and your techs look good. I like the image very much. My one nit here is your watermark. I have to say that the first thing that captures the viewer's eye in this image is the watermark. Have you considered using something a little less imposing?

Thanks Ian, I agree on the watermark, will tone it down! Appreciate your comments.

What a stunning picture!!!! But I also don't like the watermark.
