    I was a bit confused about positioning this fellow on the frame. Hope this works.

    That is a tough one to compose, Ramesh. I think you did a really nice job but also would be interested to see a tad more room above and below. At any rate, it's a fantastic image, love the eyes, dangling talons, and sharpness.

    Wonderful flight image of a handsome species. Well exposed, great pose. Position in the frame works for me, although I could also see it with just a little off the right, and a tad added to the bottom. Handsome no matter how positioned.

    Great catch. I see a sharpening halo around legs . I love the eyes and would add a bit to the bottom,

    I like the pose, sort of cartoonish looking with those skinny legs and huge eyes, a very cool shot.

    I think that this is quite excellent. Love the sharpness, those hanging legs, and those red eyes. And I would not change a pixel as far as the COMP.... With the bird looking a bit to its right I think that it is perfectly positioned in the frame. But it is so good that anywhere in the frame would likely be pleasing. I do not see a sharpening halo even when I tilt the screen....
