Nice image Kaustubh! I like the walking pose, HA and BG.

Very nice image Kaustubh. Like the raised foot, the tiny waves and the details. It looks slightly dark, but then I don't trust my work monitor. Love the comp.

Good pose and excellent light you had! Very pleasing colours to the water. I'd try to make the red iris pop a bit more (dodge + sponge tools would work great).

Wonderful image of a bird I have yet to photograph. I would be very happy with this one. Water color adds to this fine image.

Another fine capture Kaustubh. I like the pose, the light and the water.
You seem to have these birds well trained.:S3:

Hi Kaustubh. I like the walking pose and the light. The blue water makes the bird pop.

KD, excellent walking pose with the raised foot, and the small waves are different from the norm. Low angle looks good as always, and agree this seems a touch dark. Is this a juvie?

Love that you can see the green in the bird's wing and the slight wave gives this a bit of implied motion.
