[RAM MALLYA]

Ooh god save me from these photographers this bird must have said looking at the sky .
I was pretty close when i shot this image from the car . Could not get the tail due to the different angle.

Shutter speed 1/2000
Aperture F/5.6
ISO 200
Canon 1D Mark II N
100-400 IS L

All C&C welcome.

very nice image ram. wish it was taken from a bit of your right. could have been a littler more drama to the image to me. am fine with this too being light falling from top and the same time kestrel looking top adds lot here. tail is the another wish to complete the image. u can enhance some darker parts as there is a bit of room to do in pp.

Even though the tail was not visible I still wish you had given more room below to include its' hidden full lenght. Notice also how the toe is almost touching the edge, so that would take care of that too. I don't mind the kestrel looking up, I just would have prefered the head not slightly rotated away from us. Shadows are quite heavy under what looks like harsh light. As posted the sharpness is perfect, and I love the BG.

hi Ram - Pretty much covered above - just a tad tight at the bottom for my tastes, do like the pose!!
