Red Necked Falcon 2

[Kiran Poonacha]

One more of the red necked Falcon. Just cant wait for winter to set in (October) to have them over here again. I somehow liked the extra space around. hope its ok..

Tech: 1/2000, F 6.3, ISO 400, -1/3.

I like the angle, sharpness, BG and eye contact and would crop a bit off top and left to get the bird out of the center.

[Brian Barcelos]

I too would like to see a little off the left. Perfect HA and eye contact love the colors of this falcon and great BG. Wish I had enough $$ to come to India to hang out with you and photograph all these magnificent raptors. Congrats

this is a mind blowing presentation bhai.. i would surely agree on the point you already wrote to have more space arround instead going so close and show portrait.

this is a nice perch and the bg you have may give a superb drama with wider frame and blank space on right side.

[Eric Wilmot]

This is a very nice bird. Great angle, eye contact and lovely colors. I would also like a little off the left. But otherwise, great capture.

[Erich Stevens]

Another great one, Kiran. Love the soft light and earthy BG tones.

[Danny Laredo]

This is super Kiran. Love the pose and bg.

[Lorant Voros]

Fantastic species, exposition, detail and sharpness and BG. I'd also put the bird out of center a bit. Congratulations.

[David Fletcher]

Cracking shot Kiran. Very well done. Other than suggestions made about the left, I can only admire.

I prefer the recrop. What a stunning bird! Superbly captured!

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

I'd probably crop a tad more from above Bhai. An incredibly stunning image. Love the pose and the BG. Congrats. :) TFS.

[Arthur Morris]

Kiran-bhai. This is too, too good. Perfect BKGR, light, SH, and HA. I much prefer the ORIG comp to the reposted crop. I'd love to see canvas added right to yield a 3 X 2 proportion.

[Harshad Barve]

I am late in party , but Kiran , this is too good
