    Kiranbhai, good IQ, and I like the intense concentration in the eyes. Well timed for the take off too.

    Nice takeoff shot, Kiran. I really like the intense stare and the bent wings. Nice perch and bg too. I hope you will visit this bird again and get your diving shot.

    Awesome stare and a great yellow eye! Looks good for ISO 1250; the shutter speed you gain comes with very little penalty on the Mark IV. I've got to make it to India one of these days!

    Kiran, this is one of your best IMO. Killer look and perch. Your crops are always very well balanced. Thx for sharing.
