    WOW!
    Love this.
    The low POV , the wonderful color palette, the light are superb.
    The direct gaze he is giving you is awesome as well.
    Some may wish to see the gulls' head but I am happy not to see it. Makes it less gruesome and will appeal to more viewers.

    Stunning capture Binu. Masterful management of the DoF and great POV. Harmonious colour palette - a lot to like here. Well done! Regards, Ian.

    Hi Binu, great low perspective with great eye contact. Love the overall IQ and light quality, and what a sweet BG. Just enough room at the bottom. Well captured.

    Wonderful opportunity you had here!! The falcon looks very menacing, and I really like the fact we clearly see the gull's legs as reference. As big a fan of ultra-low angles that I am I do wish you would have gone up just an inch or so higher to give better clearance between the FG line and gull. Super nicely done.

    Excellent image Binu, I love the pose and BG and sharp closeup details. Dan has a good point, but since the falcons were banded this is the angle I would have personally chosen as well.

    great stuff! it was nice talking to you yesterday

    Perfect POV for my taste and the stare finishes the shot off nicely

    Love the low angle and earthy tones here, and of course the stare and the subject matter.

    Thanks everyone!

    Thanks Arash! It was a pleasure photographing with you on Sunday! I was there yesterday and they were not very active.

    Thanks Daniel! As Arash mentioned, they were banded and this angle helped me to frame it without the bands.
