Sharp. Quite a steep angle. Liked the perch. When was this taken?

Look forward to more..

Shot at Jim Corbet. Was sitting on a tall tree and hence a steep angle

Hi Chandrashekar,
It would be better if the EXIF details are uploaded as that helps in critiquing. Is this a big crop?

I find that there seems to be a loss in image quality. Did you upload a photo that is more than 200kb or the longest side greater than 800 pixels? If so, the software will resize it and the quality will decrease.

The image appears to be a bit dark. It often happens with images of birds perched on a branch with the sky in the background. The meter of the camera often gets fooled in this situation. One needs to dial a positive exposure compensation between +1/3rd or +2/3rd depending upon the size of the bird and the size of the sky. Correcting the exposure during post processing will introduce noise or grains into the image.

The right side ie. the left wing of the eagle is dark. While post processing, it can be corrected to some extent by pulling up the shadows in the levels. I did a few tweaking including an alternate crop suggestion.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

I like the re-post and agree with Sabyasachi's comments. Do post EXIF details.
