Made this image of the Short Toed Snake Eagle as it looked up towards its partner hovering above.

Cool pose, good sharpness, light and BG. I might give it a tad more room at the bottom and wish for a better head angle. Could you have moved a bit to your right?

[Brian Barcelos]

Kiran, This is simply beautiful. The eye, BG and sharpness. HA isn't too bad but could have been better if he wasn't being nosy.:p Congrats.

this sideshot works well for me! lovely exposure, pin sharp and lovely eye. agree on a little more room below.

[David Fletcher]

This is lovely Kiran! Be nice to have a bit more room on the bottom, but the rest is gorgeous.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thanks gentlemen, As suggested I have added a little more space at the bottom, more than this looked to much rock to me and as Axel suggested moved more to the right.

I somehow like this pose, I also have another with a head towards me but this interested me.

Hope this is ok.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the additional room at the bottom. What I meant with 'moving to your right' referred to the situation in the field because the bird is slightly angled away from you.

beautiful warm color,pose and eye contact.....the repost looks much better!

[Simon Bennett]

Lovely warm, sharp image. Also like the overall brown tones and smooth background.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Repost is better, I was also going to say that more room at the bottom would improve this already SUPERB image. Great pose, species, detail, light, BG, percg and colors! Congratulations!

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Colors are just so awesome Kiran. Love the pose and HA too. What a neat species. Never seen one before. Would love to see more of this guy. Thanks for sharing! :)

[Lorant Voros]

Repost is better, so still awesome. I agree with Ramon; beautiful bird and good techs. Give us more of it.

[Markus Jais]

Beautiful shot of this amazing species. Very good light and BG. The sharpness is perfect.

Brilliant IQ Kiran. Stunning light, sharpness and detail in this. I like the colours, and what a killer BG. Congrats.

The eye looks (to me) over peocessed, sorry.

Thanks Gal, I did not do much work with the eye. the birds eye is bright as it is, just adjusted the levels a bit.
