Krishna nice capture love the open wings.Too bad about the shadow caused by the wing. Some softer light would have been better.

Hi Krishna, what a superb image! For me everything is there, the soft light, dramatic, angelic posture, smooth background, and tack sharp. Well done :5

Very nice pose...I really like the whites on the bird. The ice on the water adds to the image.

Lovely shot Krisha, beautiful light (shadow is unfortunate but a long way from being a deal breaker), great wing position and the timing on the landing is spot on

Hi Krishna, beautiful bird, nicely shown. I like the pose of the bird landing, but maybe taking off, not sure. I think you can do better on the whites on the under wings. On my display there is quite a bit of grey, maybe for reducing highlights too much. Thank you for sharing.
