    Wonderful flight snot. Sharp where it matters. Love the bird's position, and the drops. Well done.

    Really nice flight shot. I love the wing position. Exposure on the bird looks perfect! Drops add some interest.

    Lovely pose, Vishal, and I love the flying droplets as well. Light and exp look great and so does your sharpness. Wish for a bit of a head turn for better eye contact, but an excellent image as is.

    What a dynamic pose! Love those curled wing featehrs. Colours look great too. I'd crop a bit at bottom, enough to rid the darker bit of reflection touching the edge...

    I like the light, droplets, wing position. I see a little noise int eh BG on my computer that is easily fixed.

    Hi Vishal, love the soft light, and you certainly captured a great wing position. I like how we can see the variety of colours on her, and the flying droplets add to the overall image. Flying slightly away from you, but I would take this any day.
