great action shot, the only thing I would do is add a tad more sharpening to the bird.

Nice low POV and action portrayed.
Gotta love all the water splashes and drops. I find the light a bit harsh.

I am with Gail on this one. Love the pose, the splash, the lovely colors of the water and the low POV but the harsh light was not your friend here.

What a mess!!(in a good way) Nice sharp lift-off photo. Fine job.

[PhilCook]

Nice timing Sanjeev, and liking the glassy water to contrast with the splashing water and good eye contact on a moving subject....yes the light was a bit harsh...but that's birding sadly :w3 I think it could do with a slight CCW rotation
