    Dear Ritul,
    A very nice image. The bird must have been quite close as you managed to cover the frame with slight cropping. I would propose a slight more cropping to exclude some of the BG.The image is sharp and in spite of the harsh lighting you seem to have the blacks and white well exposed.
    Well done!

    Nice find, details and BG. The pose is not ideal as there are strong shadows due to the harsh light. Wings fully up or down would have helped. I'm glad you didn't really shoot this beautiful bird. ;)

    Ritul,

    hard shadows kind of broke this image for me. But considering the subject and light situations you did a very nice job,

    Axel, I agree that the shadow of one wing is too strong. The bird was banking away from me when I clicked the photo - thats the reason for one wing up, the other down.
