Wow -- I really the look and feel of this bird. Good job selecting b/w and I would love to hang this in a quiet spot in my house

Hi Srinivasan. I love the composition and the processing. Its very powerful. My only suggestion would be to remove the little bit of grainy gray in the background just outside of the tip of the bird's right wing on the left side of the photograph. It shows up on my monitor, it might not on others. Great job!

Very mystical and unusual.
Love the blurry wings and perspective, not sure about the comp, though.

Love the motion blur of the action of the bird. Little too much negative space for me, though; would think a tighter comp might be better. Just to reiterate, the bird/action is just magnificent.
