Prominent crest. Nice eyes and bills. Well taken.
In case of a predatory bird, talon is also important. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Thank you for the appreciation and guidance.

Wow, a beauty. Agree with Saktipada, a complete image would have made this a stunning composition. Do you have a picture of the full bird ?

thanks for sharing

welcome prashobh. nice first post. good close up of this immature bird. is this a full frame? a narrower aperture wud have brought out the details better. as the bird is stationary f8 wud have still given u a decent shutter. wud like to see the wider composition of this majestic bird.

Thank you Sir for the Guidance. :)

It is always better to compose in camera rather than during post processing. Cropping takes away details.

Without the talons the raptor appears incomplete.

Opening up the shadows would be better.

Thank you Sir, will keep the point in mind.
