    Hi Sanjeev, lovely low angle, and love the raised foot. Was this perhaps in the parking area of Mankwe ?

    I especially like the color combination of the bird and the surroundings. Nice pose with the raised foot.

    Nice clean image and a good walking pose. Artistically perhaps a tad tight in the frame but nice to see the intricate patterns of the plumage from up close.

    The longer I look at this frame, the more I appreciate all the details, right down to the dirty feet. I would try a looser composition with room especially at the top. Feels a bit crowded.

    Excellent image, Sanjeev,
    Very nice IQ. I like the pose with raised foot and dust/sand particles along with it and shadow of claws.
    Superb color pallet, great details and beautiful design on the wardrobe of beautiful lady.

    Regards,
    Satish.
