    I like the light and the wing position plus the view of the feet. bummer his head was turned away from us...too large in the frame as well

    Hi Somdeb: Very nice! You have captured lovely detail under what looks like fairly harsh light. I like the background...it contrasts nicely with the bird. I agree with Arash re the head angle and that it is too large in the frame. TFS

    Love, love the BG colors.
    Agree that you need more room all around and wish the head was angled a bit more towards us.

    Light is nice and the background too. The bird starting to angle away is not ideal.

    The two main issues have been pointed out, but I love the wing positions, BG, sharpness on the face.

    Good stuff above. I ask this out of ignorance: Might this be a Little Egret rather than a Great Egret?

    Thank you very much Arthur Morris Sir for your input. I am also not sure. Before posting I sent it to a birder friend of mine for ID and posted it accordingly. If otherwise please let me know.

    Thanks to all of you for your inputs. Wish I had a better head turn.
    Thanks again.
    with warm regards,
    Somdeb.

    Somdeb,

    Not positive but bill shape and color seem good for Little Egret ... But I do not know the other bird at all. Try to find some smarter birders :)
