Hi Satish,
Coot looks great with nicely exposed blacks.
The feather in the beak is nice.
I think the image needs to be rotated CW and I would remove the white specular highlight to the left of coot as well as little bits of yellow debris.
If mine, I would crop a bit off the top.
Very nice,
Gail

Thank you so much Gail for your feed back and kind comments. I have already rotated the image but posted the original, by mistake.
Here is the repost.

Wonderful wings up, Satish. Very nice detail in both the light and black feathers. Beautiful colors reflected in the water. It looks to me as if you need a bit more CW rotation.

Hi Satish, this is very similar to your previous image. Well time to have the raised wings, and I agree with Geoff that the image still requires some CW rotation.

Looks good and with the cleanup much better. Still needs CW rotation as noted above. Wing detail is very nice. Would have liked to not have the far wing intersect the head but otherwise the wing flap pose is great.
