    Killer light, pose and prey item as expected :) Like my Great Blue Heron with the baby iguana, it lacks a bit of head turn....

    All in all superb but....

    All looks great Kiran, except I wish you could have moved a bit to your left for a better body and head angle.

    Great stuff as usual!

    Thank you guru and great to hear from you , yeah I agree about the HA, should have moved to the left as pointed by DC, but would have missed the action.

    Thank you all dear friends for you kind words of encouragement and valuable suggestions, really appreciate it.

    Regards,

    Kiran.

    This is outstanding! The head turn is insignificant.

    Best,

    Amazing light, bg, bird and prey, Kiran. Everything else is so strong in this image that HA is a non-issue for me. Your work is truly superb.
