A great image again!
I Iove the head turn,pose,perch,composition and the stunning bg,congrats!!!
Very fine image, Kiran. Perhaps a little more room above and a little less at the bottom, but that is very minor. I will be India in November for a month and am looking forward to seeing some of these wonderful birds. Congrats!
Amazing shot kiranbhai
Loved HA , sharpness, details and what a killer BG

Well done, Kiran. You have nice detail here. Typical drying pose, interesting perch and nice BG. Congratulations.
Kiran,
We call it the anhinga over here. Snake bird, too. Great capture of typical wing drying behavior of this species. Good sharpness and details. I can appreciate how difficult it can be to focus on their tiny eyes!
Hi Kiran, here in SA, we call him a Darter, ( anhinga melanogaster )Super comp and pose, and I like the detail from the wings. These characters are difficult to expose, but you have done well there. Overall nice and sharp, and just love that BG. Great image, I like this.
this is a mind blowing capture. what a fantastic drama light captured here. the pose looks like sort of hollywood movie fantasy character.
Just fantastic Kiran. I would love to see this one at 100% size because the details of the feathers in the back looks really nice. The semiopened wings and the head turn are fantastic. Very good job!
Cool pose, perch and BG. I would tone down the whites on the head a bit and would try to get more details in the blacks but certainly like it as presented.
Absolutely top notch stuff Kiranbhai! I agree a little less below and more above. :)

Love this shot Kiran, excellent detail and killer BG.
Very good Comp, light, pose, BG, great perch (fit very well to the image)
Well done.
