Very nice image. I can hear the screaming chicks Good exposure control and low angle (Hand held from a boat?? Wow. ). Well done, Sanjeev

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very cool interaction.
Nice light with good habitat showing in the image. I do wish for a better HA in the adult bird.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Super detail. Well done.

Hi Sanjeev - nice low pov and good interaction. You've brought out nice detail in the adult's wings.

TFS,
Rachel

Nice moment captured despite the comments noted above. Good wing position and details. I might consider cloning out the bright tan blade of grass just in front of the adult.

Spectacular moment captured, Sanjeev.
Love the frame.

That's a lovely calling pose from the chick and the raised wings of the adult all make for a great image. Very nicely taken, Sanjeev.
