    Beautiful IQ,BG and light. Perch is unusual and interesting, though it could be a little smaller. Love the tail hanging out of the beak. TFS.

    Spendid Binu, I love this image. The HA, POV, perch and BG excellant. The bird is looking good, and a natural look about it because of the prey. And, wow, what a perch. Great work and thanks for sharing

    You sure are getting some good raptor images lately Binu! This one looks great with some really nice evening light and a nice BG and perch. The tail going down the hatch looks awesome. Great work!

    I think I like the unusual perch as much as the subject and background. Very unique.

    I like the picture a lot. I like the lighting and the perch, and the fact that you captured it eating dinner.

    Hi Binu, brilliant light and IQ, and you nailed the HA with the prey. An unusual perch, works for me, and the smooth BG just rounds this image off nicely. Well captured.
