Shreeni,

This is a beautiful image of Painted Stork Juv to sub-adult plumage.

Assume this was taken at Mysore (ranganthittu ?)
If yes.
I find the place very mystical best for specially to shoot this species including (River tern, Night Heron & Spot-billed Pelican, Stone curlew) in a close quarter.

The best breeding platform over the river :)

Mital,

You are spot on. I visited Mysore this June and was magical :)

Shreeni,

Karnataka is really rich in terms of Birds.

Great detail and eye contact but bird is too boxed in with this crop - If you have more room on the right and above I would loosen the crop up a fare bit. The crop of the left part of the bird seems ok to me. Nice background colours as well.

Nice portrait of the stork. It does look a tad oversharpened to me especially the neck and upper shoulder area. TFS

Mital,

It is also apparently good for Tigers, and definitely for Sloth Bears, food is very good as well:S3:
