Landing Black Kite

Shot at home. :)
Self Critique: Missed the wing tip on the left. Wish I could have had a better Shutter Speed.

Bibhav looks like you are doing research on BK's:001_smile::laugh: Nice image the details have come out well, good landing pose

Nice landing pose. Agree about the wing tip and the shutter speed. The eye contact is nice. Thanks for sharing.

Bibhav,
Is this with your own camera? Congratulations on your first DSLR.

Moving your camera to the left would have been good. Keep on trying.

Cheers,

Congrats :), I thought you had bought the 1000D along with the 300 f4, better late than never :).

hi Sabyasachi,
Yes it was with my own 1000D :D
Mrudul, I had been using a friend's body for the images previously posted :)
Thanks for the critiques.

Congratulations :)
Agree with the need for some space on the left

Nice shot Bibhav. It would have been really nice if you had managed to get the complete left wing in the frame. Agree about the shutter speed too.

good image,agree about the wing tip,too many branches makes the frame cluttered..why not clone them out?

Thanks for all the comments guys. I agree about the clipped wing and the shutter speed.
Hi Jitendra,
I prefer to not clone in the images I post as such. Let them be as they were :)
