    This was one of my target species on my trip to Kutch, they are large eagles and Very shy. They are winter migrants to India.

    Kiranbhai, I like the low perspective, pose, and HA. Good sharp detail, and I dont mind the surrounding grasses around him. Great BG too.

    Kiran....sweeeeet light. magic of Kutch. The FG goes really well with the plumae IMO. I see some bands in the BG...a compression issue I guess.

    What a wonderful species to photograph! I've only seen them once in Hungary. Lovely light, great head angle, low perspective and perfect background.

    Amazing image Kiran. I like that it is immersed in its habitat. The POV, composition, sharpness, and light are all excellent. Nicely done!

    Awesome shot of this amazing species. I love Eastern Imperial Eagles and I traveled to Austria several times to watch them. But I never got so close and such an amazing shot.
    Wonderful light and sharpness. Great BG. I like the angle of the birds towards the camera.
