The mouth on the fish really makes this one special Satish. I agree with Peter's comment on exposure. The Background appears a bit "muddy". But a very nice capture!

Hi Satish, good comp, and although you have captured good detail on the heron, I would maybe darken him a touch. Great view of his catch, and I feel if you ran a some more NR on the BG, it will neaten it up a tad more.
