Lovely image and cool pose Kiran.

Kiran:

Nice moment captured, well exposed, sharp, good BG.

A bit more room on the left would be nice, balanced with an equal amount on the right. Just don't like the tail crowded quite so much. I would probably burn the broken end of the perch so it doesn't stand out so much.

Be sure to include your camera and lens info (what lens). It helps in the critiquing.

Cheers

Kiran:

Nice repost. I might personally go with a tiny bit less canvas on top, but that is really just a personal choice.

Very nice overall now.

Fine image of this great raptor. Very good behavior captured here. The extra room improves this one.
