    Very nice Saurav,

    Great wing and head position. Awesome colors too. Just a tad noisy. Great capture.

    Fantastic wingspread...could not ask for better. I wouldn't mind a bit more canvas top bottom and right and I see a halo around the wings (more prominent around the bottom one...looks like you may have lightened parts of the bird and that it has bled over onto the BG?), but sheesh what a wonderful flight image!

    Hi Saurav, well timed to capture this inflight pose. These guys certainly have lovely colours on them, dont they, and you have shown them off nicely with the full wingspread. Great BG too, although there is a slight hint of noise which can easily be dealt with. I agree with Dan with more space as mentioned, but I could see this as a vertical too.

    Superb flight shot.
    Agree with a bit of NR on BG,

    Beautiful colors and wingspread. I see a little noise in the bg but I am fussy about noise. Nice image
