Another fantastic shot, Kiran. Pose, detail, BG are all excellent. And the red eyes really pop from the bird's B&W plumage. Beautifully done!

Awesome pose, perch, and BG. Excellent sharpness. Love the glowing red eyes. Only wish the bird had been looking right at us.

Lovely capture, Kiran. Good wing spread, beautiful BG. Love the dominant eyes that immediately draw the attention. Excellent work.

Awesome Kiran!

Now that is sweet.

[Dave Leroy]

Wow! Great pose. Good for you!

My preference would be for just a bit more room on top for that wing tip although it is about the same on the side and is nicely balanced.

Lovely job on the light and an excellent photo.

Beautiful Kiran, I love the lighting and the glowing eyes!!

[Pieter de Waal]

Lovely light and exposure Kiran. Like the spread wings with all that detail and of course the red eyes so characteristic of the species.

Not too keen on the two darker above his left wing. That said, you consistently produce images with as high of image quality as anyone on this site.
