Kiranbhai, you can see the strength in those large wings, and I like the intensity in his eyes. Separated very well from the BG too. Well captured.

[Mike Lentz]

Nice downstroke and detail.
It looks like you did some massive cloning in the LLC of the image, is that so?

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thank you SB bhai and Mike,

@ Mike: your right mike I colned out couple of branches from the LC of the Image..:)

[Colin Knight]

Definitely try to avoid those repeating patterns to hide your cloning.....Otherwise, like it very much. A little more room on the bottom would be my preference. TFS!

Excellent details and sharpness Kiran and against a very nice BG. Well done

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Kiran, you must have felt glad you upgraded from 40D to 1D after this shot :)

loved the sharpness and the perfect focus. Cloning work on such shots is not going to be easy.

[Nico Steenberg]

Great sharpness captured. IMG is sharp and well exposed with good colours. Well done !

[Aidan Briggs]

Great job here. Lovely pose, and exposure. I wish the BG was a bit more distant but you take what you can!!

Looking forward to more!!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

The pose makes the bird look very powerful, good sharpness and eye contact, too. I might decrease contrast a bit.

[James Salywoda]

Awesome show of power beautiful shot Kiran.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Kiran I really do enjoy your raptor images. Another powerful image, the background does not bother me at all. You did particularly well given the low shutter speed

[Hendri Venter]

Fantastic image Kiran. A clear separation from the BG and good techs.

[Danny J Brown]

Kiran - You really captured the power of this awesome bird and the dark background helps. Nice work.
