The eyes have come out well. It is good that there were no vegetation obstructing the face. Moving to the left, if possible without disturbing it, would have been great. As that would have ensured a bit of separation between the head and the branch passing behind it. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Lovely stare. The perch is nice. Its nice that you got it relatively in the open. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you sir,

I spotted him near the well, and he immediately flew away . I waited there for half an hour sitting under the hide . then he posed him for more than half an hour , I took multiple shots with different EXIF values.
