sweet image - good detail in the bird

bg attractive - not sure if the "brown" element on the left which could be a below the water rock works, it looks naturally unnatural particularly with the two black "points"!! . maybe more pp work?

[Satish Ranadive]

Bill, Thanks for the feed back. Issue Black points will be taken care.

Regards,
Satish.

Satish take Bills point with black/brown bits, do like the outstretched wing pose, bird looks nice and sharp, I like this.

Hi Satish, lovely wing display from the Grey Heron, and tack sharp too. Had he just perched? I dont mind the rocky perch as is, but feel taking some off the bottom wont harm the image.

Lovely shot Satish I like the pose, I would consider lowering the brightness a little, it makes a difference. I don't mind the hidden "crocodile!

Light looks a little strong here Satish. Lovely landing? pose and super sharp details. Bummer the left wing is more folded than the right. not sure what I'd do with the croc.
Nice work, please keep 'em coming.
