Excellent light, pose & sharp details. I like the wings position & water splashes. I do like to see a little more details in blacks & maybe a slight CW rotation. TFS

Hi Ritesh, great take off pose with the raised wings, and nicely seperated from the BG. The colours on the flamingo look spot on. I agree the image needs a touch of CW rotation, even though he is flying away from you, and I would blend in the highlight areas in the BG.

[Karl Egressy]

Amazing take off pose nad excellent colours, Rites.

[Dave Leroy]

Really nice takeoff pose and I like the nice dark colors and early morning feel to this one. I might just lighten up the blacks on the wings a little bit to show more detail.

[jack williamson]

The blacks on the wings have been mentioned, the rest of the colors are awesome including the BG. The three bright highlights in the BG distract.

Great take off shot, loving that long stretched out neck and water droplets, the dof field/ background looks nicely smoothed out, but I'd consider removing the few bright spots. I would also rotate the image a little as the water appears to be running downhill to the left, I might also consider darkening the head a little to make it stand out a little better.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot.
Terrific take off pose, very nice light, and great colors all around.
I would clone out the circular highlights.
Well done.

Ritesh, gorgeous image of this beautiful bird...I was lucky to have visitied this place to see these magnificent birds...Wish I had visited it multiple times during my stay here..For the image - Light is amazingly beautiful and so is pose of bird with fully raised wings and splash in the water...
I know how hard they are to isolate from group when they start padelling in water before take off...You did fantastic job..Agree with others regarding rotation and extracting some more details from black.
