    Can't ask for a much better pose. I like the ratty tail feathers. Might include a little more canvas below the bird since it's hunting.

    Beautiful wing spread and sharp details. I like the head turn and the full fanned tail.:)

    Spectacular pose showing off the spread wings and the fanned tail. Excellent sharpness and detail as always. Superb stuff Kiran Bhai.

    Great banking angle Kiranbhai, with both a full wingspread and fanned tail. I like the eye contact, detail and sharpness.

    Terrific shot, Kiran. Love the banking pose, eye contact and detail. Looks like her tail feathers came in second in a fight with an electric fan.

    Stunning wing spread, love the facial concentration and agree with Doug that a bit more canvas at the bottom might have been beneficial.

    Another fantastic shot, Kiran. Man, you have been pumping out the great ones lately. The fanned tail makes this shot. You are right up there with Jim Salywoda on some of these BIF images.....almost.:)

    Beautiful take, love the detail and sharpness. Seems like he is looking at you, hope he was not coming after your camera (he thought you are paparazzi :p).
