    IQ is excellent Sanjeev.Exposure perfect
    I like the splayed grasses in the BG.
    I would crop a bit more from the bottom ( personal taste) about a 3% sliver to get rid of most of the OOF white stuff.
    Is that a leg band ?

    Nice image, Sanjeev. One of my favorite birds, very similar to the ones in Florida. Thank you for sharing.
