Nice eye contact and head turn. You got it quite close. The low angle is good. Nice details. Thanks for sharing.

The eye contact is lovely. I like this image. No nits. Thanks for sharing.

Eye contact is good. I would prefer some more space at the top. The depth of field is sufficient. Looks like this was much closer than the Greater Spotted Eagle you had posted earlier. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thanks for comments...

Sabyasachi this was a bit closer than the spotted eagle, however we did put in lots of efforts to crawl to get closer to her. From one end I was crawling and other end Mrudul and Anu:001_smile:, it was nice to watch the Harrier turn at both sides whenever we fired the shots:001_smile:
Great moment...
