When I spotted this eagle sitting at low height, I thought he’s looking for snakes. But when he took off, he had snake in his talons. You can see it under the grasses.
Is this a composite: No

Great detail here and that stare. Oh how raptors stare. Background is in focus just enough to give us some context and the light is terrific. Can just make out the hapless victim there. Glad you spotted this little scene playing out.
Another excellent image, Jagdeep. If you have the canvas and it’s not too ugly, you might look at moving the bird more toward the right side of the frame. I think the balance would be a bit better. I really like having to look for the snake. It adds a lot to the durability of an image to have some partially hidden elements.
