Black Shouldered Kite

[Mrudul Godbole]

Took this photograph in Haseerghatta. It was perched on a high tree.The light was bad and it was very cloudy. There is noise, since I had to work on the exposure to shift it to the right . I should have ideally increased the exposure by 2/3rd while photographing.

Canon 50D, 100-400L IS USM, ISO 320, f5.6

Nice shot Mrudul....Noise wise looks okay not very noisy, did you tried noise reduction?and Yes getting things right while shooting helps....
I am not sure about the composition, the space in left side too much, I would have prefer some space at right side as well. rest looks gr8... TFS

Agree that you could have had more space to the right.
Noise-wise looks ok... Great image

Good capture Mrudul. Like Kiran mentioned, there is a little noise in the BG. Noise removal softwares would help this shot, in my opinion.
