Very nice, while I liked the first one, this one is just superb.
Great looking birds, nice pose, water drops are very nice.
I would still clean up the water a bit, easy to do and would put this on another level.

I really like this shot Sanjeev, nicely done HH from a boat. The water falling off the bill is just right, the bright light was handled well and the bg is fine.

[Nick Palmieri]

Nice job. I think you handled it well. If it were mine I would crop or clone out the bright patch upper right edge.

[christopher galeski]

nice image,like the pose and the water drops,sharp,would get rid of the light bits top of the frame.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Very dynamic pose. You nailed every aspect of the shot!

I would agree that a bit of water clean-up and bg toning (top right) would go a long way for this already wonderful image!

Love the pose and the dripping water, Sanjeev.

[PhilCook]

very very nice Sanjeev, the exposure is perfect imo, just a little bit of halo along the back, wonderful clarity and sharpness and the droplets add a lot to this one. My only thought regarding composition in the frame would be to remove the brighter areas along the top by either cloning out or cropping

Great looking birds, nice pose, water drops are very nice.
