Take off
I think this is a brown headed gull, just can't make out what it is in the non breeding season.
These guys like to fish in gangs, we watched a shoal of small fingerlings which was fished by these.
However its difficult to make make few decent images with a good splash and fish together.
In here i have cloned out one wing of a gull which was flying by and came in the frame, thats the most difficult thing during this, that you tend to get too much of confusion when these get into a feeding frenzy and getting a single bird in the act becomes difficult.
5D MIII + 400 f 2.8 L IS + 2X TC
1/5000, 7.1 , ISO 800
Let me know if you have your suggestions on getting it better.

Beautiful wing position, and you caught the splash nicely. The comp works very well for me. I only wish for a bit of head turn in your direction. At first impression I thought there was a bluish cast to this, but checking with ColorPic, the neutral areas are, if anything, slightly toward the red channel, so I wouldn't change it.

Hey Vishal, you captured nice action here...Bill has already pointed out about HA. And yes it is Juvenile Brown headed gull - note the yellow bill and legs whereas the adult has red.

Excellent take off shot, Vishal. I like the pose, shooting angle and the water trail.

Sharp as can be, nice exposure and a cool pose.
Maybe just a bit of rotation needed looking at the water.

I'd agree with a slight CW rotation -- and a possible gotcha: are the reflections in the LL from the cloned-out bird? (Just a thought...)
I have the feeling that there was a bit more Highlights compensation than need be, but it could be that was just the lighting. I still love the image! Wish I could capture action like that, so my comments don't carry much weight.
