Interesting bird, quite long legged. Neat markings on the face area, and I like the sloping perch. I'm wondering if you have some more details to extract in those blacks? I'd also crop some from the top (perhaps about 1/3 off).

Fine shot Sanjeev. Like the profile. you were probably too close for a verticle FF shot. The colors and contrast and exposure spot on. Any specific reason behind F 9.0?

Thanks Daniel and Amol, I could extract some more detail in the blacks, will try it as i shot this in raw. Agree with the cropping, taking the top 1/3rd off may put more emphasis on the bird. Amol, I used f/9 as the SS was fast enough at that Av, and to keep the DOF so that the entire bird is in focus.
Appreciate your kind words.

Very nice Sanjeev! The bird looks excellent and I like the angle of the rock he is on, nice bg.
