Lone companion (#2)

Had made a horizontal composition too of the same bird. Here's the link: <b>Lone companion</b> (http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=237131)

A crested serpent eagle shot at bandipur.

Please feel free to compare the two images:-)

Nice. The pose looks interesting. The space below the bird looks a bit negative to me, so would have preferred more of the vegetation above. Nicely done considering the bad light.
Please post the horizontal version here as well, so that it would be possible to provide a detailed critique of that one too.

Thanks Abhishek. Just realised thhat I had posted the horizontal compo here : Lone companion.. - Indiawilds: Land of the Tiger. Conservation, Wildlife Photography, Communities (http://www.indiawilds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6903)

I agree with Abhishek, as the branch going down do take the attention away from the bird. More space on the top would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

I would like to see some more space at the left to see the branches joined.
