    Always interesting to see a species I have never heard of.

    Image is very engaging but I think needs some room on the right, and that is coming from someone who crops tight. I also like the detail in the upper wing area. The IQ seems very good for such a high ISO.

    Thanx Tom . Actually this is shot with a 2X TC ...so at 1200mm and a FF image . Interestingly I was trying for some more room on the left and I did try to move away to get some more room ,but the guy flew away .

    Nicely exposed image Rakesh. Great IQ with good feather detail. Good use of DOF. I would have liked a little more head turn.

    Beautiful colors and complimentary BG all work together. Wonderful detail and exposure. never saw one of these so TFS. I might think about making this a horizontal with canvas added on the right. It,(the bird), needs some space to "look into".

    Rakesh, very well done. hard to get this one on such evenly blurred BG. IQ is terrific and so is the pose.

    Really well done Rakesh - I am amazed at the image quality you have achieved given what was required to get the shot (ISO3200, 1/60s, 2X TC (I assume?)). Great pose. I am a little torn on the bright green spot - it does distract from the subject, but makes for an interesting background. A little more canvas on the right maybe?
