    Nice image. Lovely wingspread captured. I like the details of talon. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

    Brilliant one as usual Sucheth, i can imagine how tough it is to track this speedy bird of prey - especially with the TC on. As Saktipada mentioned, the talons are imposing . . . . i think there is room to bump up the ISO a little more, which in turn would have allowed you a little higher aperture, thereby getting the wingtips in focus. A little more space to the right and to the top will help further enhance this already beautiful composition. Great wingspan and lovely eye contact.

    thanks for sharing

    I guess the bird was perched a bit far off so you used ISO 320. Else, I would also like a narrow aperture. I love their red eyes. Wish the light had shone on the eyes. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,
