Brahminy Kite

[Mrudul Godbole]

I was trying to catch the bird eating the flesh on the ground, but the prey was not visible to me. I could only get this one when it landed on the ground looking around before he could eat it.

Canon 50D, 100-400 L IS USM, ISO 200, f5.6

Look forward to your comments and critiques..

Mrudul is this a crop?
It somehow seems soft near the head...

[Mrudul Godbole]

It is full frame. I had taken it after walking close to the tree the same place from where I took the ones sitting on the coconut tree.Let me see if I can sharpen a bit.Thanks.

Though the bird is a bit blurred, img quality doesn't seem to be down. Focusing problems?

[Mrudul Godbole]

I just checked, the file I uploaded was 212Kb, the s/w downgraded the size after uploading, so the image has become soft. I will reprocess and upload a lower size image.

I have re-processed the shot for a lower file size. Let me know if this one looks better.

This looks much better. You can recover the highlights a bit more.

Agree the repost looks better.. TFS Mrudul..

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Repost is much better. Great shot.
