    Got this Short Toed Snake Eagle Just after he polished of a snake. The Setting Sun added to the nice brown shades on this great looking individual.

    I liked a little blood on his beak.

    Spec: 1/1000, F 5.6, ISO 800.

    MK4+500mm+1.4TC

    Regards,

    Kiran.

    Kiran:

    A handsome bird, looks rather intelligent and dignified.

    Lovely techs, BG, pose, head position, blood.

    I might consider just a small crop from the right.

    Beautiful.

    Cheers

    Small crop from right gets my vote as well. Still a very fine image. Great colors pull it all together.

    Very nice sharp image. I am always excited to see birds from outside the US. This fine specimen just adds to my excitement. Rather than a tighter crop on the right, I think a little more room on the left would let him breathe easier. The setting sun really helps the mid tones. Thanks for sharing

    Another great IQ image from you bhai. Love the light and colours, sharp with a good HA. I do like how he is perched on the anthill.

    Sweet light, great sharpness, and a nice pose. I'm a sucker for yellow eyes!

    Top notch image Kiran bhai. Perfect bg, pose, light and details. What a handsome raptor.
    If you twist my arm, I'd say crop a bit from the right and add a bit above below and to the left.
    Big fan of your work. Superbly done as usual.

    Superb photo. The IQ is fantastic and the lighting makes this an excellent shot. I'd really be interested to know the location as well.
