The eye contact is nice. You tone down the highlights on the tree and the right side of the eagle. The vertical composition looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Agree that a close to full frame and better control of the highlights would have been great. The Crested Serpent eagle is in the same class as the tiger in the wildlife protection act. However, not many people from the public know about its status. Its been sometime since I clicked an image of one with a snake.

Cheers,

Lovely one....Bhargava.....nothing more to add, everything seems to be covered.

Agree with comments made, in my opinion the CSE's are quite cooperative and one gets a lot of time to click. Not sure if you had enough time to check the histogram. However the closer you are to the subject the better is the image.
