    This is very cool, great light, sharpness, wing position, BG and the food item adds to it.

    This is not boring at all! Super down wing pose, excellent sharpness. I love that the wing/tail have a very very slight blur to it to convey motion. Of course, the food enhances the image also. :)

    Definitely not boring, more exasparating in that I rarely get the opportunity nor have the skill to capture images as good as this. I'll keep on trying though:)

    I like the detail and the wing position here. The bird creates a nice curve and the sharpness is impressive.

    No boring at all Ramesh. Superb action, light and BG. I presume that this one is a crop and I suggest to crop a different way, with a litle bit more room at the bottom if possible. Very good job and keep them coming ;)

    I agree with a little less room above, but my-oh-my this is a very impressive image in all regards!! Great pose, sharpness, BG...an overall big WOW from me :).

    Ramish - VERY Exceptional , just as is. i think the room on top is just fine - seems nicely balanced to me.
    Great colors, perfect eye, fine detail, wing position, and the prey just send this over the top.

    One more thing, the beak looks a bit jagged, if you rework the image I would sharpen the beak a bit less.
