This is very neat Sanjeev, love those long pink legs and all the stilts, except one, facing in the same direction. The interesting lighting works well here. I think cropping just below the darker strip at top would improve the composition.

Lots of geometry going on here! Love all those straight and angled legs and then that curved perch. Tough light, and too bad they did not all look back our way a degree or two more (like the top middle bird did). I would definitely crop above to below the dark band as per John. Neat scene...must have been fun to observe!

This is really great, I think one of the best Stilt compositions I've ever seen, the uniform stare and raised legs really add to this. Light looks nicely handled as well....yes....another vote for cropping out the dark band on the top of the image......great shot !
