Comment: The image shows the Shikra,the hunting bird just hunted a Sparrow,seen dead at his feet.The red eyed bird looking furious due to his bright red eyes and the feathers of the Sparrow he has plucked, in his mouth.This is hurried shot taken at the right moment showing the drama of the moment.The incident is very sad to look at but this is the rule of nature.Here both the Shikra and the dead Sparrow are very well seen as the side lighting is perfect and somewhat dark background enhancing look of the both.
