Kiran:

Well captured, with nice angle in frame,sharp, well exposed, nice talon display.

Might have traded one stop of shutter speed for a bit more DOF.

Hope she arrives safely and gives you many chances for great photos.

Cheers

A beauty, Kiran. Great wing position, HA, detail. Good point by Randy about SS/DOF. Looking forward to more of her.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Kiran, well done as usual. difficult shot to pull off as it needs both high SS and plenty DOF with this wing position. loved the feet and the angle the the bird. your usual eye level shooting angle is perfect.

[Kurt Bowman]

Nice image as posted for my taste. I think more DOF would have been good, but don't see it as an issue either since the critical areas are in focus and sharp.

[Arthur Morris]

Bhai, This one is too good even for you. I like the shutter speed as the wingtip blur seems to be from motion rather than from lack of d-o-f.

[Doug Brown]

Really nice shot Kiran! I'm going to agree with Randy here. While the wing tips may have some motion blur, the wing bases would look sharper with a bit more DOF. Still an excellent image!

[Ofer Levy]

Fantastic!!! Pose, sharpness, detail - awesome work!!

[Sameer Shah]

Very well shot as usual! Like the overall minimal colors which makes the picture very strong.
Angle of her head and eye contact is fascinating.
Regards.

Wonderful image! So sharp

[RAM MALLYA]

Awesome wing /talon position and lovely BG.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Thank you my darling friends for your kind words of encouragement.

Love all, Kiran.

[Stu Bowie]

Bhai, superb IQ here, and I like the pose. Sharpness spot on, and that BG is a killer. Well captured.

[Chris Martinez]

I notice a few strange artefacts to the bottom right of the claws. There is also a single dark, faint line top the bottom right.

You should be able to see them in this slightly enlarges crop. Perhaps leftover from cloning??

The bird looks absolutely magnificent
