    Welcome to BPN Udaya. Your first post is very nice. I like the sharpness and the pano crop and of course, the running raptor. Thanks for the link -- there is a lot more detail in the dark tones in the larger version.

    The big problem here is that the bird is too far back in the frame; do you have more room behind the bird?

    I look forward to seeing more of your images and to your joining the ranks of regulars here on BPN. We have lots of very fine Indian photographers as members.

    Nice frame. Love the walking/running pose really lets you see how big those legs are. Neat looking bird.

    Pretty neat to see a raptor running along the grass like that! I agree a bit more room behind would be good. The bit of greenery just above the leg also catches by eye, so if you are OK with it you could remove it via a number of processing tools (clone/patch/content aware/combination of those)

    Welcome to BPN, looking forward to more from you!!

    Thanks a lot for your feedback. Yes. I will remove the greenery. I wonder how I didnt notice that.

    Thanks.

    Very nice shot indeed, I would consider a tad more sharpening on the bird just to see the difference.

    Welcome to BPN. Really unique and fun raptor image! Great to see it running like this. As a side note I recently was in Spain and spent quite a bit of time trying to find this species but didn't have any luck. I would prefer a little more room to the right of the bird so if this is a crop I would loosen it some. Would be nice to have somewhere between 2 and 3 times as much space on the right as what is there now. Also another yes to a bit more sharpening on the birds head area. Maybe try selecting the head and neck and smart sharpen at 70% and .3 radius and see if that does the trick. Really looking forward to more of your shots...
