    Sanjeev:

    Strong sense of habitat without overpowering the bird. Vivid colors, with good exposure. Raised foot helps make up for the other foot being blocked by the vegetation.

    Cheers

    Nice light, and you have my favorite shorebird / wader / long-legged bird leg position: what I like to call the "figure four". Super sense of habitat as pointed out by Randy. Although minor I would consider eliminating the two brighter streaks touching the head. Perhaps also a bit off the bottom, but not too much. Blacks and whites both look good!

    Sharp and technically perfect along with a nice image design. Bummer that you could not have gotten out of the vehicle and lied down on the ground... The differences would have been HUGE. a

    Hi Sanjeev, lovely shot of the female Saddle Bill Stork. I like how you have captured her in her enviroment, and overall, well exposed.
