Image shot horizontally and cropped vertically. Too sad that I had the light in the opposite direction and I could not manage to get a better angle that this as I had limited time to shoot with a kill. Thanks for viewing and please do pass on your C&C.

Nice image. What is the kill? The perch looks nice. May be slightly more space at the top and right would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Sabyasachiji,

Couldn't make out what the kill was. I did not get enough time in the first place.

Roopak,

Nothing like that, I could see only once and I could manage to shoot few images before it flew away.
