Sachin,

Lot's to like here, however image seems small. What size was the posted picture. We recommend 1024H and 800v and a file size of 200kb. See this link:http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/87352-Please-Read-Before-Posting-The-First-Time-and-Then-From-Time-to-Time.

Whites are in check and like the BIF pose. Nice full wing spread and plenty of action here. Muted and textured water makes a nice background. Image does seems tight to me, need more room to breath. Techs look good, I like the f/7.1 to get full subject detail. I suggest a repost of a larger file. On balance, I like the feel of this picture and the flight pose is beautiful.

I like what I see. Well done Sachin. Agree with Jeff- I would love to see a larger version of the image. Also you could crop a lot tighter on the subject as well. Love the lighting and the wing and head angles. The action is great. Really look forward to seeing a bigger, tighter repost!

Sachin, I really like the flight pose and feeding behavior you captured. Great job with the whites and color rendition in general. My only suggestion would be to lower the bird in the frame just a bit. Well done! Look forward to more from you.

Kerry, thanks for the comment and Inputs. I will surely give it a try to recompose and see how it looks.
