Down to Earth

[Kiran Poonacha]

This is a juv Tawny Eagle. Made this image when he was too preoccupied looking for the tiny frog he missed out on.

Spec: 1/800, F 7.1, ISO 400.

Great golden color, excellent detail. The pose is great too.
I like it a lot. If you wish you could clone out the little feather
sticking from the head.
Congratulations!

I like that little feather on the head...it gives it a juvenile look, sort of like Alflafa from the Little Rascals :-) Good crop, I like the included shoulder. I do wish for a bit better head angle, although this pose does indeed give it a concentrated look.

A striking pose. I love your lighting, especially on the eye. Your exposure is good, feather detail is great and image is tack sharp. You also made good use of DOF here to blur the BG, focusing attention on the bird. I also like the various curves in the image. I would suggest that you crop some off the top.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Beautiful bird, beautiful posture, beautiful background. Perhaps lighten the eye a fraction?

[Brian Barcelos]

Very nice Kiran. All around great head shot. I really like the inquisitive look on his face.

Excellent detail and I like the comp. Ditto to lighten the eye a bit.

[Grace Scalzo]

Incredible detail, and I LOVE your composition. Sharp, the eye looks fine to me, and the intensity of his concentration grabs me.

[Stu Bowie]

Amazingly sharp Kiran, and love the look. "now where did that darn frog go?" How is that beak, and I like complimentary BG.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the pose, sharpness and BG. I agree regarding lightening the eye and might crop a bit off the right.

[Dr.Pranay Rao Juvvadi]

Love the details!
