Target Locked

[Kiran Poonacha]

I had setup to get this beauty take off, but the eagle gods were on my side :D, The Snake eagle spotted a snake and dived straight in.

Spec: 1/6400, F 7.1, ISO 800.

MK4+500mm+1.4TC

Kiranbhai, I like the concentrated look from the eagle, together with those talons - ready to snatch his prey. Overall sharp, and stands out nicely against the clear sky.

Great eye detail and position makes this one for me Kiran. Also great wing position, sharpness and seriously-focused bird. Excellent.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Being ready is a wonderful thing. It paid of big time for you. This is killer. The eye contact puts it over the top.

[Fabs Forns]

Impressive bird, love the look of determination and concentration on him. Did you get any with the snake?

I like the stare, light and incoming pose. I might sharpen the bird a bit more, it looks as if the critical focus is on the feet.

Kiran, awesome pose and nicely composed/cropped. Love the eyes on these fellows. superb exposure too. Well done bhai.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Awesome image. The eyes stand out so well. I do wish for better illumination on the body and legs, but man I'd take this any day!! This guy is on a mission.....

[Doug Brown]

I'm glad you finally started to go after some of these beautiful raptors up in the air! Nice capture with excellent sharpness and great eye contact! Can't wait to see more of your flight shots.

Wow, this is excellent Kiran. To capture it at that angle towards you take some doing. Many congrats, this is very good photography. Wish it was mine...

[James Salywoda]

Target Locked and "Nailed" very nicely done Kiran I really like the angle of capture.
