it was one of the memorable evennings,where i saw the complete hare hunt. both the birds took part in to it. one flushed the hare out in the open from a bush and other bird[ which was not seen by me at that time and it swooped from no where,just like bolt from blue] caught it.thrilling experience.

Interesting to observe how they work together to catch a meal. I like everything about this image...from the HA, to the proud stance over the Hare, the BG etc. Well done.
I like the story and I am glad you got the image to remember it too. The composition is great and the proud look of this eagle makes it even better. VWD!
Wow, very cool event to witness, and as a bonus you were offered a great photo op! I'd prefer just a tad more room left and right, and run some NR to the BG. Maybe also slightly lighten the eagle's near eye and eyesocket. Otherwise this is pretty awesome...I love that we can see the prey's eye - it makes the image that much more powerful.
