wonderful capture.. love the eye contact and the details on the head and near the eye

Nice image. The body forms a diagonal which makes the image strong. A higher DOF would have covered the full body and branches...

Sabyasachi the image is sharp, the colors too have come out well & the eye contact is great. However the frame is too tight for me, some space all around would have been nice.

Looks like you had have a great time in hasserghatta, any other raptors do share, thanks
