    Great looks here Kiran,

    I like the up front head turn here since it shows the Harrier's
    facial disk really nicely. The details are excellent and the dominant
    color of bird+BG was nicely done too.

    I like the head-on look, light, sharpness, composition and BG.

    One angry dude. Loved the head on look. everything else is spot on as usual. I think you have a very good sense on cropping.

    With the bird looking right at you, I think the placement of the head in the center of the frame works well. Tremendous detail, especially in the eyes. Nice job!

    Hey Kiran - a real beauty you have here. That bird has "crazy eyes" and the bokeh is to die for. Nice, my friend.
