    Got This Snake Eagle just after sunset ( its the best time to get them on the ground also they are bolder when it gets dark) the mild wind from the back gave the face a mane like effect.

    Spec: 1/125, F 6.3, ISO 800.

    MK4+500mm+1.4TC

    Regards,

    Kiran.

    Well, perfect for me.
    I like the way the eagle is slightly watching to the right and not directly to us.

    Truly spectacular image Kiran. The raptor and BG just blend so well, and I love the wind-blown crown and head turn. The eyes are piercing. Congrats!

    Kiran, what a stunning shot. perfect DOF, shooting angle, BG, exposure, killer sharpness and one heck of a pose. And your signature high IQ. Loved it a lot.

    If anything, I'd like to see a tad more room above.

    Kiran, Stunning image. I like the pose and inclusion of the rock. Complimentary background colors add to this.

    The only thing that could have made this better would have been for this beautiful individual to perch atop the small rock for a view of the talons Can't ask for everything!! Wonderful image Kiran all around..from exposure to sharpness, to low angle and BG...

    Kiranbhai, great IQ, and just love the eye contact. I like the soft light, colours and sharpness, and the windswept feathers behind the head adds interest. Well captured.
