Crested Serpent Eagle

[Amit Gupta]

CSE, Pench National Park, May 2010.

Wish I had gotten the complete tail in the frame.

EOS40D + EF400L F5.6; handheld.

1/320; ISO 400; F5.6

The eye contact is good. Lowering the lens a bit would have given more space at the bottom and would have also reduced the out of focus bright spots at the top of the frame. We don't realise that this bird, in theory atleast, should get as much protection as a tiger as it is placed in the same schedule of the Wildlife protection act.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Lovely eye contact. I liked the composition. Agree about the space below to include the tail in full. The details are nice. Thanks for sharing.
