Beautiful. Quite rare to photograph a Serpent eagle with a kill. Nice open perch. It is good you could get the snake in full. A slight head turn towards you would have strengthened the composition further. Maybe reducing the saturation a bit would look good. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Subramanya,
This is a lovely sight. A slight head turn towards you would have enhanced the eye contact. the aperture selected is fine as the depth of field is sufficient. The saturation is on the higher side. Toning down the saturation will also help in the lowering the yellow in the patch just behind the head. Opening up the shadows a bit will also help.

You did well handholding the lens. The texture has come out well.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
