Made this image in overcast conditions with the grey clouds as the BG. the Juv black shouldered kite decided to look at me in between its hovering ritual.
hope it works

Love the background, techs look great and those eyes are stunning....are they really that bright / red?
I might try it just a tad higher in the frame?
Indeed it works for me bhai.
I agree... another vote for just a tad higher in the frame. Love the eye and outstretched wings.
Kiran, terrific shot. Unusal and nice head position for a hovering shot....good job of keeping an eye on it. I like both the placement and size of the subject....its always that way in your images. You are pretty good at cropping.
A really good shot. The great red eyes. Maybe the bird a little higher in the frame.
Great image. I like the comp. very much.

Awesome head turn and crazy cool eyes .Nice look at the topside of that wing too. I'd love to have this one. Crop works for me as is
Sweet shot Kiran. I like the red eyes and the wing details look great. Crop looks fine to me.

excellent pose and love those intense red eyes!

Awesome hovering pose with the lovely eye contact
Excellent image Kiran! I like the details, eye contact, sharpness and composition.
Beauty Kiran...everything is perfect...BG, Sharpness, Pose, composition everything....I have seen many hovering images but this one has unique head angle TFS
