Wow Sanjeev,
This is a terrific shot.
Nice low POV and the colors are wonderful.
I like the foraging pose and nice light.
I will give you a 9 out of 10 on this one if you clone out the specular highlights and clean the debris in the water!!:S3:

I'd clean up the water too and I love this image as well. Nice colors here and good low angle and great pose, eye contact.

[Grace Scalzo]

I love the colors of this image. Great low angle. Just clean up the water a bit and you've got a very pleasing image. Thanks for sharing it.

[Nick Palmieri]

Nice low angle and great pose. Reflection is nice and BG works well. Another vote for losing the highlights.

Sweet image, Sanjeev. Love the exposure and the especially the eye contact. Nice low angle and colors. As suggested, I'd clean up some of the debris. You have a winner here.

[David Salem]

Very nice. Exposure and details look great and I love the pink feathers and the feather pattern on the wing. Nice pose and I agree, with a little cleanup, this is strong a keeper.

Nicely done Sanjeev, a tiny bit of halo showing along the back but overall the exposure is very good...loving the pink tail section and wing patterns, the clear eye is fantastic making it look totally life like......maybe I'm alone in my thoughts with this, but I feel it could do with more room on the left

Cool bird, nice feeding bahaviour. Love the pink feathers on the rump. I agree with some water clean-up, and to me the image seems to need a bit of CCW rotation.

Excellent Pose and good exposure control, nice comp.
