    Wow. Love the low viewpoint and the way the Lapwing pops. Good work Kiran. Nice ha and eye contact too.

    This is great Kiran. Excellent low angle for a nice perspective, but not too low as to hide the feet. If anything you may want to lighten the whites on the belly and tone down the lightest part of the yellow, but all else looks A-1.

    Great angle and BG, I also like the look-back pose and sharpness. I would desaturate the yellows a few points and tone down the whites near the eye.

    Stunning light Kiran, sharp, and I really like the detail in this. I feel your angle of capture may have been a bit too low, as we seem to be looking up to the eye. Just an observation.

    Great looking image Kiran. I too like the low angle and over the shoulder look. Having never seen one of these before I may be wrong but the yellows do seem a little over saturated. Nice capture.

    Thank you dear people for your kind words and suggestions, these guys have glowing yellow legs, But I do agree it looks a bit saturated at a few places,

    As suggested I have de saturated the yellows at a few points, lightened the whites near the belly and toned down the white near the eye.

    Hope its ok Now.

    Stuart: Yeah, I agree you have to look up a bit, adding some space on top could solve the problem to some extent, but looked like too much space so I let be.

    Thanks Again,

    Kiran.

    Super image Kiran - I especially like the low perspective, pose, plumage detail and earth-coloured setting.
