    Was fortunate to get this fellow that day in the morning. The sun just broke out between some clouds and 2 mins later the sun was gone and a cloud front moved in and the light was hopeless for the rest of the morning. I have done some white wash clean up on the mound.

    Very nice! Sharp image with an excellent light. Though I think there is too much space above his head. Ciao

    Another stunning image...Love the look back pose..BG is perfect and bird is sharp...I might take off some space from top (but that's personal preference)

    Hi Ramesh, good look back pose in lovely soft light. Good DOF on the falcon, and you have brought out the feather detail nicely. Killer BG too. I agree with the others - I would take off at least half off the top, and add a little to the bottom.

    Ramesh, what a beauty. great details, nice perch, perfect head turn....nice eye. Colors looks just right...not over saturated...am sure one would be tempted to do that. yes to less room on top.

    Wonderful colors, BG, perch and light. Really a stunning portrait. I too think some room off the top would improve this already awesome image.
