Very nice image Sanjeev...sharp and great light. I like the symmetry between the two birds.

It looks to me as though the whites on the neck of the nearest bird are a tad hot. Also, if you have more room at the bottom, and can shave a bit off the top, it might improve the composition. I might also try to clone out what appears to be the OOF blade of grass on the left wing of the near bird. All in all, a beautiful capture.

Very well done on getting both birds in such poses together. Good for you. Looks like they just took off from the water.
Whites are a bit hot and perhaps a touch over sharpened.

Very cool to get both birds nice and sharp.
Great BG and I like the little water drops.
I wish for a bit more room on the bottom.
I feel there is a bit too much contrast and sharpening and would back off a bit,

I would add more to the bottom of the frame if you have it. These birds look very similar to the Great Blues we have here in the US.

Hi Sanjeev, well timed for the take off, and good DOF on both herons. They are both nice and sharp, and comp wise, apart from adding to the bottom ( which should be easy to do, if you dont have the original space ) I would also take some off the top too. Too much empty space there.

I like the concept of the image...it's not often you see two herons together in flight like this. You've received some good comments and suggestions that I agree with.
