A Brahminy Kite. Shot at MFD. A Bird used to humans and gave me enough time to shoot before he flew away.

excellent details.
Lovely eye contact. Nice details. I liked the composition. Thanks for sharing.
Nice image. I think moving slightly to your left would have been even better, as the other eye would have been hidden. The best pose to click and get both the eyes visible is when the bird looks directly at the lens. In this case, that would not be good, as the other eye may not be in light.
Also, if you were to the left or the bird would have turned its head, then more of the beak would have come into focus. The background looks fine and overall the image looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Nice close up sir.Good details and clean Bg. Good job on the exposure as well. agree that a more side on (profile shot ) wud been even better.
