    Well captured. Sharp, very good exposure, attractive BG, wonderful wing position, I like the HA & the cool yellow feet. Maybe less room at the bottom, more at the top & RHS. This is a personal preference on my part.

    If anything, I would like to see a bit more at the bottom ... :p
    Wonderful capture that shows a lot of the bird's features!
    Thanks for sharing.

    Kiran:

    Dynamic pose, angle in frame, colors and exposure, all very nice.

    Well captured.

    Cheers

    I particularly love the sweet light, the killer BKGR, the hanging feet, and the perfect light and head angles. I only wish that the far wing was a bit higher. I also love the fact that you captured this fine bird in mid-turn while it was still coming at you.

    Great image as others have said. I like the lighting more than anything (if I had to pick one thing.)

    Kiranbhai, the eagle is separated from the BG so well. Good flying posture, sharp, with good detail.
