A really great shot. I wish those shadows on the back weren't there. If you clicked this one from different angles, I would like to see them please.

Thanks Abhishek...
Sorry I have only this angle, we were waiting for the tiger to come out of bushes when we saw this guy. our focus was tiger since we saw him hiding :). didn't had chance to try different angle of this eagle.

Where was this Kiran?

It was nice that you got it calling. I am not a big fan of birds looking over their shoulder, because it is tough to cover from the head to tail feathers. However, in this one the dof is sufficient. The expression is lovely. The hint of tongue appearing is nice. Good that you took atleast one shot when the tiger was around.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
