Hi,

Uploading the right sized image for exact detail. Shot at 185mm; 1/800s - F/6.3, 0EV. Nikon D90, 70-300 VR lens

Nice flight pose captured.The upward wing position looks nice. Good eye contact. The whites in the feathers look fine. A slight higher shutter speed around 1/1000 would have helped to freeze the wing tip. What was the ISO?
The light looks a bit harsh. What time was this clicked? To get more pleasant images it is good to click in early morning or late evening light. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mrudul,

This was shot at ISO 320. It was around 12 30 noon when I shot it...it was a very very foggy day..so much so that I could not reach Sultanpur in the early morning and had to come back. Went back at 10 30 am, and it was still fogged out. Gradually it cleared and I got this shot at the time mentioned :)

Nice wing spread. The background colours look good. I agree that a higher shutter speed would have been better, however one doesnt have control on light and a higher ISO would have given lot of noise. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
