    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 . 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.

    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.
