Really like the intense stare and the prey in the beak. Nice color as well.
Kiran, Fantastic capture. I love the eye contact and the nice BG colors really add to this.
Excellent shot! I love the light, colours, behaviour and this amazing eye!
great details and action captured
Well done!
Kiran:
It makes me smile. It seems like it tastes funny!
Techs are nice. From a pure comp. standpoint, I might trim 1/4 of the open space on top off, but minor issue.

Brilliant capture Kiran, but still would love to know your technique of being there at the right time.:):):)

Hehehe, I like Steve's comment, I'd like to know too :)
Excellent timing, EXP control and colors. TFS.
Excellent image Kiranbhai as usual

Thank you all for you kind words of Appreciation, I really value them and sure keep me going for more.
@ Steve Bhai and FabJi, I know what you thinking :). but no this was not a bait, This was a chance encounter, I saw the Bird perched on a bush when it made a dive for the mouse. I knew it was on a hunt but did not expect a larger prey like this mouse, usually they feed and grasshoppers and other large insects. I drove closer to actually make a image of the bird on the ground, but luck was on my side as it had hunted a mouse and held it in its talons for some time (this time allowed me to position myself well for the shot from the SUV), it pick it up with its beak and swallowed the mouse whole.
thanks again..
Kiran.
Poor mouse but I like the eyes and the pose.
Kiran, I don't think any of us were suggesting or implying that this shot was baited!
All we wanted to know was, is there something 'special you have' to know when & where to get that exact moment. Perhaps there is a little lost in my/our comment;) I guess we just envy you getting something like that.:)

Fantastic capture Kiran for both of you.

Hi Kiran,
Fate shines on the prepared!!! Excellent all around and the meal is a real treat to see!
Awesome timing. This is such a dramatic action shot for something that's not really moving. Great job.
Excellent Kiran, quality is great, love the low angle, light and details. well done.
