Grey-headed Fishing Eagle

[Bibhav Behera]

Shot in Dudhwa while waiting near a waterhole for a possible tiger sighting.

20% approx crop. Comments and critiques welcome

Canon EOS 1000D, Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM + Canon EF 1.4x II Extender
SS 1/800
F 8
ISO 400
Critical focus on the breast plumage than on the eye :(

Nice perch and eye contact. Wish the light was on the eye. Agree a more sharper focus on the eye would have enhanced the image further. Look forward to more.

Lovely image Bibhav, did you capture it making a catch? What about Tiger?

[Bibhav Behera]

No catch, No tiger :( We waited there for around half hour.

Some more sharpness would have been better. When the subject is far off, slight shake can ruin the image. Using support where ever possible and higher shutter speed would help.
