Very nice scene and BG colors.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Binu, excellent low perspective, and well timed to capture the interaction - loved the crossed bills. I do like the soft light and pastel colours of the BG. If this were mine, I would reduce the yellow cast from their heads. I do realise its from the light, but maybe worth trying a version.

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Superb image Binu, well timed and excellent low POV! Great BG and colours.
Agree with Stu on the cast.
TFS.

Lovely image Binu, the moment is so beautifully captured
I love the low set perspective and the superb colour tones

[Andy Shepherd]

It's like an avian Ballet, Binu. Love the pose, the intersecting bills and how the males wings are holding his mate. Just Beautiful!!

[Karl Egressy]

Excellent interaction captured at a nice low angle, Binu.

[Marina Scarr]

Killer cross behavior of this pair. Terrific light and setting. I am seeing some yellow cast in the whites of the birds which can be easily remedied.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very lovely pair! You got some fantastic light and image design. BG is also very pleasing and goes well with these handsome birds.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent interaction, low shooting angle and bg. Love how the male's wings are wrapping the female and are dipped in the water. Nicely done Binu.

[Binu John]

Thanks everyone for the input! I really appreciate it!
I've tried to fix the yellow cast in the whites.

Hi John,
The repost is excellent.
Love the interaction captures and the fact that the intersecting bills did not cross an eye.
The forward thrusting chests and bellies add a nice line and forward momentum to the image.
Tack sharp and great low POV.
Well done,
Gail
