Hi Sanjeev, I like the ruffled feathers, and well exposed on the buzzard. I feel the part of the tree in front of the buzzard is a touch overpowering, but thats how it was. Removing it would alter a big part of the image, but would also improve the overall comp. The high key looks good.

hello. Very nice eagle, nice exposure and sharpness. I believe the large branch in front of the bird is way too large. I would suggest to clone it if that is fine with you.

[Alan Murphy]

Besides removing the large stump, I would do another round of sharpening on the bird. I see an excellent vertical of this stunning bird.

Beautiful capture of this incredible eagle. I agree with what the others have said about the stump in front. Thanks for sharing

Hi Sanjeev - I agree with the comments regarding the trunk. However, I love details and pose. I think Alan made an excellent suggestion to go vertical.

Beautiful bird with wonderful soft light. I like the feathers. I agree with the others about the large dead branch.

Sanjeev, a beautiful shot of this buzzard, to be made even better with the suggestions above.

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Thank you all for your suggestions. I will RP the image and see how that goes. Will crop vertical as per Alan's advice.
Cheers,
Sanjeev

With an all-white BG it should not be difficult to remove that large branch (man, too bad it did not perch on the taller one though!!) I also agree with another round one sharpening on the subject. Cool bird, well exposed, and a nice ruffled pose.

I really like the ruffled up feathers look in this image.

I love these high key images, Sanjeeve ( http://www.tonywhitehead.com/wildlig...irds-on-white/ ). You've done a great job on the exposure here to get nice clean plumage detail. Couldn't resist removing the second branch as suggested by others. Lovely image - deserves to be printed.

Tony, your RP looks awesome! thanks a ton!
