Hi Krishna, very pretty habitat shot and POV. I like the opening of vegetation for the avocet, well done.

[Bill Dix]

Sweet frame. Great low POV. Bird nicely framed in the beautiful setting.

[Kurt Bowman]

I really like the low POV and BG habitat is fantastic. Nice frame!

[David Roach]

You always nail these small in frame environmental images. This, no exception. PMP and TFS

Yeah, this is really sweet. Foliage in front and behind are far enough away add interest/context without being distracting. Wide crop is really nice. Curious head angle is the capper!

Looks like a painting. The oof focus parts really give this a nice watercolor painting look. Agree with above about natural setting.
