Hey Vishal it was nice meeting you other day...This is wonderful image well exposed, sharp open wings raised foot everything works very well...this could have been even better if we were able to see eye.but overall this is very nice image.

great exposure vishal, i see lots of detail in the whites.

Spot on exposure and great comp. make this one sweet image. Love the detail under the wings.

I really like the light, BG and the exposure.
Great wing and head position.
Wish for a better perch but that is a minor nit,
Gail

Vishal-bhai. Bird, pose, EXP, and SH are lovely. Perch a little less so :S3:. Consider cropping about 1/3 of the perch to get to more of a pano; try a crop from the little notch on the right side of the post. Thanks a stack for your membership support.

Vishal:
Magnificent pose captured.Beautiful details in whites,nice pose and lights.

Regards,
Satish.

Well done and YAW bhai. Less of a not so good thing is usually better :S3:.

Hi Vishal, well timed for the incoming perching - showing off the wings nicely. Love the raised foot too. I like how you have addressed Artie's suggesstion in your repost. No one else has mentioned it, but Im seeing a bit of a yellow cast on the underwings.

Great landing moment - an improvement on my "Touchdown" theme for sure. I particularly love the far wing extension, and the detail you captured in the whites. Pano works nicely. "Less of a not so good thing is usually better" - another Artie maxim worth remembering.

lovely image well captured, good detail and well exposed.
