Cropped image. Processed on an uncalibrated monitor. Do let me know if the exposure looks fine.
Comments and critiques welcome.

Yes. The exposure looks very fine, so does the composition with just the bird and azure clear sky. very well done.

The wing spread is nice. Good eye contact. A slight higher shutter speed would have been nice to freeze the wing tips. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

This Brahminy kite reminds me about your "initiation" into brahminy kite shooting. Good wing spread and details on the ventral side. Keep on pushing. The moment you are able to approach close to these beautiful birds, you will get even better images.

I used to consider these as good omen during childhood days. Will never tire watching these graceful birds swooping down and flying with their prey.

Cheers,

Thanks Everyone.
Sabyasachi, I had the same thoughts when I posted this one! The frenzied clicking with a 135mm of the Brahminy and Black kites swooping on the carrion sure was fun
