    It has pulled out entrails of whatever it is feeding on.

    I agree with Ray, I also like where the bird is positioned to the left and looking into the negative space, this leads to the question what is it looking at ? which is better than a whacked in the centre image.
    Your image tells a story where the bird in the centre shot is just a portrait image.

    Got to agree with all above Sundar, beautifully framed and presented. Birds of prey always show a sense of power and control and this is sensed in your image - well done.

    Thanks mate. For a bird that big it does a lot of scavenging. I guess this is common in animal kingdom.
