short toed snake eagle

Canon 40D
Canon 400mm F/5.6
F/6.3 s: 1/400
Iso: 400
I guess I should have boosted the iso to get better freez :( . Some twigs are cloned near the rock. The bird is clicked under natural conditions (no setup)

Hi Vikrant, I find the image interesting with good wingspread looking like he has just taken off. Would have liked to have seen a little more of the rock and would crop a small bit off the top to accentuate the bird a more. Nicely muted backround with even lighting...

Sweet image lots of detail and don't mind the tech settings at all, great compromise Agree with Dave in having a little more of the rock if you have it but one sweet image as presented, sure like the slight head turn and top view position !!! Lots of detail both shadow and highlights ... btw could run a soft brush over the bg for smoothing !!!

Hi - Agree with the above comments - a little more of the rock would also include a little more at the bottom? Just feels like it could use some more.
Techs look good - as does exposure.
Well done
