It is quite rare to see it on the ground. The eye contact is nice. I feel a bit less space in the foreground would have been good. Was there a kill? Thanks for sharing.

Does it have something under its feet? The yellow in the grass is a bit distracting, so reducing the foreground will help. A lower angle would have been great. However, it might have flown off when you get down from the vehicle.

Cheers,

Thanks Mrudul and Sabyasachi, it did have a catch but i could not see. Ideally low angle shot would have been nice but the grass was tall so focusing would have been a challenge for me as I am not used to manual focusing.
