    Spectacular concept and rear view. Two wishes for an ideal world: that the right wing of the main subject were as fully spread as the left wing, and that the bird on the ground were a bit to our right so that the head was not behind the fine twigs. EXO, crop, sharpness and feather details excellent.

    This is a contest winner. It is a totally different perspective from what we normally see.

    Very unique image Kiran Bhai. Love the details on the bird. I would go with either brightening up the other bird, or cloning it off...
