Eurasian Spoonbill Bhigwan,Maharashtra , April 2013
The adult bird trying to have little fish Breakfast in the early morning, The diet consists of aquatic insects, mollusks, newts, crustaceans, worms, leeches, frogs, tadpoles and small fish up to 10–15 cm long.
Nice sharp capture and the open mouth and water drops adds a lot to the picture. Good timing on your part. The colors are lovely on the bird and the background. I like the placement of the bird in the image, but it would have made an improvement if the bird's head was not partly in shadow and was aimed slightly more toward the camera, but still a good keeper. Maybe you could blend in that shadow line just a bit to soften it up?
I like the low angle, water drop line, details and composition. If the bird was angled towards us it would be a stronger image but the Spoonbill is focused on the meal which makes it work for me. Nice image Ritesh!
One of those images that could be ideal with a different angle, but still it is awesome. The path of water drops makes it a very special image. Nice one.
Neat action you got here with the trailing water drops. I agree about not only the head angle, but the whole body (angled slightly towards us would have it lit better by the light angle you had). Of course nature does not always co-operate on-demand like this.
Great Catch...............
