Changeable Hawk Eagle
Whilst everybody was parked up searching for that elusive Tiger, I took a look around and found this in a nearby tree.

Beautiful subject, Ken, and I like the feel of this a lot.
Great processing for 1/125 and iso 1600!
Amazing sharp.

Ken i loved this image. am sure you had fun for your visit to india grabbing many bird species including tiger from this place as well.
excellent photography with 1/125 yes it is. I loved the OOF bulbs in BG (Open sky through forest).
Great that you got the crest lifted up and the dramatic light plays its role precisely.
I'd take this over a tiger any day, really very nice. Pose, perch, HA, IQ terrific. I love the diagonal of the perch. BG seems a touch bright and busy to me -- I might subdue it just a bit if it were mine, but that's just taste. Great job.
Excellent clarity and sharpness on the eagle and perch Ken. Good comp and I love that eye.

Ken, good attentive pose, sharp, and that eye stands out so well. The highlights in the BG have been toned down well enough, so I dont find them distracting. You could maybe try and blend in some of the greens to lessen them.
Awesome shot taken very nicely in the woods without clutter loved the perch too.
Excellent capture. Great sharpness & details in 1600 iso. You have powerful hands, shooting at 1/125s & still quite sharp. congrats.
Ken, I like the forest feel here. excellent details and that eye is great. so is the crest. very well done in tough light conditions.
Thanks to all for your kind comments much appreciated, the BG was a nuisance but I have tried to disguise it as best as possible.
Sometimes my preferred method of hand-holding pays off, I must have been well braced.
crest looks fabulous. agree with above comments about execellent sharpness with 1/125... lovely.
Excellent image Ken! Amazing result with the low light and being handheld. I like the pose, crest, sharpness and eye.
