    I truly feel proud to present some of the beautiful raptors we are blessed with in India to the world. I take this oppurtunity on my 1000th post to thank all of you dear people from my heart for all the guildence and encouragement you have give me here at BPN to improve my photographic skills. Great to be a part of this family.

    This is a Indian Spotted Eagle in Adult Plumage. Hope I could share a larger pic to show more details.

    Thanks Again,

    Kiran.

    Kiran,

    Congratulations for the 1000th post. This is a very nice crown on all the raptor series you have been posting from your country. Like the "king of the land" pose, detail, light and sharpness. Thank you for being part of this great community and sharing your world with all of us.

    Kiran,
    This is excellent! I like the head angle, feather detail and the BG. The thing that really makes it for me though is the detail on the spread talons. Congratulations on your 1000th post.

    Congratulations on the milestone and great image, particularly angle, sharpness and BG. Is there a slight magenta cast?

    Congratulations Kiran on your images from Bharath they are really amazing and present a new perspective.
    I like this picture very much with the eagle holding its head high as if to say proudly 'I am an Indian' :-).

    Congrats for the milestone and a great looking raptor. I only wish for a little more sharpness but not much.
