CHE with kill

[Bhargava Srivari]

Just back from a quick dash to Pench national park. The trip went well and was eventful. We sighted four tiger cubs on the last drive but they were all lying inside lantanna bushes, s oI'm afraid I don't have decent pictures of the tigers to share. However, I will post images of other mammals over the next few days. Here's a Crested hawk eagle (juvenile) with a kill.

This sighting happened after we got to know about th tiger cubs' location, so our guide and driver were unhappy when I showed them the eagle and asked to stop :P

Bhargava,
It is great that you got it with while it was feeding. I like the eye contact. The whites have become hot. Somehow, I am not happy with the tail being cutoff. Reducing the colour temperature and sharpening will strengthen the image. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Nice Image Bhargava. Looks like it has eaten most of the catch.

Agree with Sabyasachi. Did you get a chance to zoom out and take another image without tail being cut off?

Lovely eye contact. The kill surely adds to the image. You could have reduced the EC from +0.7 as the whites have lost details. Did you try a horizontal composition? Agree zooming out would have helped. Maybe the driver didn't give you much time to compose as they were after the tigers :). I think there is some noise in the background, have you done any special processing? Thanks for sharing.
