Beautiful action Satish sir

[Graeme Cox]

Nice capture, the exposure looks spot on..

[PhilCook]

This just the degree of golden light I like in a shot, great exposure Satish and impressed by the high ISO setting and showing little or no noise

[arash_hazeghi]

great pose, details and sweet light, I prefer more room in the bottom and the BG can use some NR. TFS

Satish,

Wonderful image in nice light, which hit him just right. The detail and color throughout are very nice.

I agree with Arash's comments about adding a bit of room to the bottom and applying NR to the bg. I would also think about trying to extract a bit more detail out of the whites if you can.

Nice flight shot. Sharp and exposed well. One more for room on bottom. Well done.

[Shawn Zierman]

Great light quality and a sharply rendered flight shot of this species sir.
I really enjoy the pose. Yes to NR on the bg, and yes to a bit more room
on the bottom. The whites of the bird look lovely to me....

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Very nicely done Satish. I like it a lot.

Hi Satish, great incoming pose with the dangling legs, sharp, and well exposed. Before reading Arash's comment, I too would like to see more room below, and agree about the NR. Well captured.

[Tim King]

Great looking bird. Love the...everything about it : ) Fine job.

[Randy Stout]

Satish:

Good advice above. Def. a good job on the bird, needs more room below, and the BG smoothed a bit, looks a bit coarse. The whites look good to me.

Cheers

Randy

[Satish Ranadive]

Thank you all for your kind words,comments and suggestions.
This is almost full frame image,just cropped for composition,there is no space at the bottom.
However I will add some space at the bottom and will apply the NR to BG.

Regards,
Satish.

Super pose and beautiful light, Satish. I just love those dangling feet as well. I would agree on some more room on the bottom.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot.
I really love the landing pose, very nice light, and exposed very well.
I too agree on adding more room below.
Well done.
