    lovely image, great detail, colours and well exposed, i only with the reflection was not as close to the bottom of the frame as it is, i may be an idea to take a little off the top to balance it out a little, but this is just my personal preference

    Nice low angle and reflection. The light and colours are great, I also love the eye and the open bill Kiran.

    Kiran, this is a fantastic image showing great details textures and colours. The calling pose and the popping out eye is great. Love the low angle and the nice soft light as well.

    Sweet light, excellent detail and super low angle. The calling pose is icing on the cake. Is it my imagination or is the bird's head pointed slightly away from us?

    Light, colours, details...fantastic!! The eye looks amazing. Just wish for a slightly better HA and a bit more room around the subject and reflection (but it looks good like this for web display).
