Terrific shot, nice light, pose and wonderful desert feel here

Nice shot Ramesh, wish part of the wing was not blocked by vegetation. also it would be nice to give more details about processing some feathers look too smooth with no texture (blur mask?)

Very beautiful Ramesh, nice pose, good DOF and HA.. congrats..

[Stu Bowie]

Great low perspective, and I like the pose and HA. Although you have captured good sharp detail, I agree with Arash that some of the lower feathers look too smooth.

[Gerrie van Vuuren]

Like the eye contact & low angle. Well exposed with good colours & detail.

WOW !! Awesome shot!! Pose, detail, sharpness and this special desert mood - awesome!
