    She returned a couple of weeks back, but my busy work schedule kept me away from her. went looking for her this morning and made some images as she spent her day hunting small insects.

    Spec: 1/3200, F 5.6, ISO 800 +1/3 manual mode.

    another gem in your vast collection of raptor shots. tail spread and the angle are the best things in this one. one heck of a shot.

    Bhai, great flying angle, wingspread, fanned tail - all against a killer BG. Yep, you seem to have your raptor pets sorted.

    Awesome capture, Kiran, love the POV, feather detail. Great looking BG, and like the diagonal line comp. This is minor, and not sure if it is from compression, but if you look just behind the upper leg area it seems too faded out & flat. Still very beautifully done!

    This one's a real beauty. I especially love the feet hanging down in front of the fanned tail, the diagonal comp, and BG. Excellent.

    Great comp, flared tail, sharp, angle in frame, dangling feet, HA and wings are all superb.

    About as good as it gets. I really like the pose, the feet against the tail fan.
    Sharp and well exposed. Just the usual great photo from you, but this really shines.

    Kiran,
    Really stunning image as noted by many above. Adding to the above comments, I like the small wing tip bur as it adds a feel of speed.

    Well done!

    Excellent all around. I would only darken the pupil as the eye has a bit of a "hazy" look to it. Looking forward to more!!

    How do you get them to fly towards you? They always fly in the opposite direction to me!! :( Love the image, the HA, details on the bird & most of all the wing & tail spread!!
