Hi,
Most memorable day, it was!! Your picture has come out very well. Very good sharpness, but little more space around would be much better/

Hi Goutham. A fine looking bird you have here which you have captured with very good detail and sharp focusing. I like your plain BG it makes the bird stand out. It has its eyes on you andwhat huge claws it has. well done TFS.

What a great shot Goutham. It looks like a museum specimen perfectly perched on the thorny twigs. Exposure, sharpness and color are all great. The crop feels a tad bit tight at the top. Space could easily be added there with that uniform background.

very nice and sharp pic....
loved it!!
as satish mentioned, would have preferred a little more space over the head.
a vertical compo may have worked too, i feel!

Hi Goutham,

For a moment I thought it was Sathihs picture which I had already seen, until I read the caption. As I said earlier its "Prize catch", I agree with Satish if you could give little more space all around would have still enhanced the picture. Congrats for the catch. :)

Hi Goutham,

Superb shot of this beautifull Falco chicquera
I agree with satish about the space around the bird.
sharpness, details and colors are AMAZING
the catchlight and eye contact is a extra bonus point
