Look forward to your comments.

Nice sharpness, and I like the extended feet! Wing position could be better, both because the near wing casts a shadow on the neck and because the far wing overlaps the bill. Thanks for posting!

Hi Sabyasachi,
I love the pose but the lighting looks a little harsh to me. Sharpness is impressive!
Regards,
Nicki

Love the action captured in this image and as mentioned the extended feet are great. Ditto Doug's comments on the wings and lighting. Many thanks for sharing.

Very nice landing pose captured at the right moment. I really like the feet ready for touch down. Wish for softer light. The bird is too centered and a bit too high in the frame.
