Satish, thanks for a great laugh to start off the day!! (Beautiful image, too! I always love your posts.)

Lovely subject and talk about close! Super pose. I am seeing a yellow cast and would adjust with about a +6 on the blue slider of a Color Balance adjustment. I would also sharpen a little more, esp around the eyes and the crown.

Fantastic closeup Satish! Great composition. The details and exposure are great.

I love this! Great complementary blend of colors from BG to bird.... with a great "face" and focal point ... gave me a big "grin" too! (alternate caption: Do These Feathers Make Me Look Fat?).

I'd say YES, but it depends on who is asking the question! Ah, If I were the bird, I'd have liked a tighter crop just my face please :)

Great fun shot Satish, Like the puffed up look and the closeness of the face. Techs look good and nice colors and BG. Well done

Great close up of this fat looking Heron. I like the details and complimentary BG.

Thank you all for the feed back and nice comments.

Marina: I will take care of yellow cast,as you have suggested.

Diane: Hope your day must be wonderful.

Sandy: Thanks for the alternate caption.

Loi: I will give try for tight crop.

Regards,
Satish.
