Used BreezeBrowser to convert and edit in PS.

Nice colors and exposure. I do wish that the head was not merging with the wing.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Nice gliding pose, light and eye contact. This might also work as a pano crop.

Hey Indranil,
Very Nice light and wing position. I think Axel's pano crop suggestion would even further accentuate the wing spread. Nicely done!

Trey, Axel, Roman, Thanks for the feedback. Here is the pano version...

Beautiful bird, great light and good exposure job. Nice reflection.

Wish the camera angle was a bit lower to throw the BG more OOF.

One of your best efforts to date Indranil. I like the idea of a pano crop, but I'd put the bird lower in the pano (more water above the bird than below). Nice job!
