Kiranbhai, you are blessed with so many raptors. I like the pose and eye contact, with good detail. If this were mine, I would maybe darken the BG a little.
Spectacular capture but unless my eyes are failing there is something funky going on just above the bill in front of the head--a dark smudge... Otherwise killer bird, BKGR, legs, sharpness, and image design.

That smudge Artie mentions looks like some thin whispy feathers?? Anyhow, awesome image here...and as a neat little subtle detail I love the tiny bit of vegetation on the perch close to your copyright. I'd may darken the pupil for more impact on the eye.
Thanks Dan. My eyes must be focusing better this morning as I can see the individual feathers.

YAW Kiran-bhai. I was fooled by the fact that the bristles are not obvious on the near side of the face and I was very tired :)
